I believe in a better future. I very much hope that we, the people, will improve the world in which we live. Therefore, the city of the future will be very different from the modern to the best. In the city of the future a lot of attention will be paid to places of recreation. many parks will be built, cinemas, viewing platforms. Where there is no sea, no rivers, artificial reservoirs will be made, in which you can swim and boat. Each city will resemble a resort.
