  1. a dream city to me would probably be a nice futuristic place, obviously, but it would be in a nice free forest. There would be paths and it will look really nice. There would be a nice big lake with a rock island in it , because why not. The city would be powered by hydro electricity because it is good for the environment. Anyone that is nice, not greedy, not mean, nature friendly and not a total jerk can live in this city. The vehicles would have to look nice and not ugly and would be electric , ( like teslas ) cause of the environment people, building would look a little like hobbit wholes on the outside but on the inside it could look like what every the owner want, it can be more than one story. it would be extremely nature friendly, you won't see any ugly old cars drive by, there will be preferably no bad or mean people so a very small crime rate, and its nice and not ugly.

    1. Your Dream City sounds nice, I like that in your city you take good care of the environment.

    2. I somewhat agree with you, i dont agree on the whole ugly things would be banned front because its a matter of opinion for example, I see the skyscraper "the shard" in London as an eye sore but others do not. Else wise, sounds like somewhere id like to live.

    4. Your city has everything needed for a futuristic dream city.The only thing I don't agree is that the buildings would look like hobbit wholes on the outside of the building because since it's in the future, i'd assume more like buildings glass buildings etc. Also because when people bring hobbit related it brings me to the past not the future.

    5. Sure, why not? A lake with a rock island in it. Why not?

  2. For me a dream city would have almost no pollution. It would have electrical cars and nice houses. It would be a place where everyone can live, be happy and everything would be affordable. It would have a big lake and forest where you can do your activities and where everyone could have a good time. My dream city would also have market and everyone knows eachother and everyone can buy whatever they want. Also there would be a nice field where everyone can do their favorite sport and join a sport team. In conclusion my dream city would be a place where everyone would be nice to eachother, everyone would have fun and live a good life. My dream city would be different from other cities because it's unique, it's different and everyone would be friendly to eachother.

    3. I like that everyone would seem to know everyone in your dream city and they would be close and kind to everyone and that everyone could be included in their own sports. Good Job Marjo

    4. No pollution is right. Pollution sucks.

  3. For me a dream city would be clean and new. No pollution and people would all be nice. Cars would be run on electricity and guns and weapons would be abolished for safety reasons. Also everyone would be included it would no longer be picking the best it would be picking everyone because i feel that a lot of people struggle with not being accepted and feel like they have to change. In conclusion my dream city would be a safe, clean and kind new world where everyone can fit in.

    1. I think that they should keep guns for safety reasons like an invasion.

    2. If you abolish guns and weapons what will the police use? Butter knife? lol

    3. Technically, breathing and farting cause a really small amount of pollution. But agree that a dream city needs to be clean.

      Delete
  4. For me a dream city wouldn't be something clean and new but it would be somewhere where everything is just. Everybody has enough money to sustain themselves and enjoy they're lives. A city without corruption within the court and the mere concept of being rich is a joke because everybody has enough money for themselves. And a place where racism, sexism and all around discrimination is a mere joke.

  5. For me a dream city would be a lot like are city because I like my city but also i would make a few changes.The changes I would make would be that there would be no pollution at all and it would have a nice beach near by.In my dream city transportation would be comfortable trains, that would look amazing and travel at the speed of light.My dream city would have many buildings and skyscrapers with many windows. Everyone in my dream city would be generous and very nice.There would be a few changes.My dream city to my actual city but not to many

  6. The way i envision my future dream city would be that it's very neat and organized as much as possible. As in the properties are clean. The floors of the city are clean. The people are kind. Everyone has a job , no one is unemployed. As much recycling as possible. The city wouldn't have to be fresh and new. All that i'd ask for is that it is clean and that there is very minimal pollution. I would have streets where people could do street art on the walls because i honestly think street art looks really beautiful. I would like my dream city to look clean but full of colours and life. To the point where people could just stop and take a minute to look around at the beautiful environment. I would use more solar panel cars to be safer with the environment and i would want people to use the bus or metro more often (carpool) but i don't think us humans need anything extreme to use as transportations. We should all just bike and walk. In my city anyone would be welcome to join and look around as long as they are not known to have harmed anyone. (robbery , thief , murder ). It would be different from the cities of today because it would be more aware of the environment and it would be more full of life now a days people just rush through and never take a moment to look around. My dream city would have plenty of beaches, fields, playgrounds, camp sites, forests, hiking areas, movie in the parks anything that can get people out and about the nature life and enjoying their life.

  7. If I could create or imagine my dream city, it would be in my own way of perfect. Everyone would be equal, not in terms of money wise though. I believe that the more education you get, the higher your pay should be. That being said, everyone in my city would be able to go to school but not forced, It would be their choice to destroy their future by dropping out. I would want my whole city clean and no pollution, as it is bad for the environment. On a less serious note, I would want everyone in my city to have fun. Since roller coasters are one of my favorite things, I would want at least two large amusement parks, one of them being in a mall, since I love shopping. In my city it would be fall ALL the time. I love fall so much because of all the colours of the , their so pretty. My city would be on an island and everyone would be able to get a view of the ocean and go swimming whenever they want. On hot days the schools would finish early to go swimming. I know none of this is realist but it would be a lot of fun if it was.

    My dream city would be great, I mean awesome. Anyone could live there if they wanted to, but if i had a choice, all my friends, famous people would life there-I would live there.
    The buildings would look new, fancy, and tall. The buildings would have to be powered by renewable sources only. Transportation is important: NO FLYING CARS! Flying cars would be very dangerous because not a lot of people are serious behind the wheel, they would still text and drive(fly), and there would be more deaths, because when they crash, and I say WHEN they crash, they would fall to the ground and die from the fall. Some people would take flying cars as a reason not to listen to rules. An example: The cops are after me, what do I do? Oh, I know, I`ll fly to a different country! The normal cars, would have to be, again, powered by renewable soures. They should look like whatever the owner wants it to. The city, the buildings, and transportation would be in control, like not in chaos. The would be no slow traffic, but no over-speeding(going way too fast) of course. Today there is an extreme amount of pollution, disobeying the law, murder, and blah blah blah. Today there is choas, no respect, no patience, and a lot of people don`t want to stop and help someone who needs it. My dream city would not be crowded but today, a lot of cities are.

  10. In my dream city everybody would be treated the same and with respect. The environment would be healthy with very little pollution and many things such as cars would be powered by electricity. Everywhere you look it would be beautiful, such as the buildings; they would be covered with murals in many different colours and images . Every night there would be a beautiful sunset with all different pinks and oranges. The city would have various lakes with sand and clear water. My favourite sport is skiing so in my dream city I would have a giant mountain that would always have snow, so no matter what time of year it is you could go skiing. This would be different from our cities today since the environment isn't as healthy as it could be, the buildings aren't very beautiful and unique and there isn't usually a pretty sunset every night.

  11. For my dream city i'd like to do something really simple.I'd make it futuristic because I always like to thing how everything could turn out to be in the future. It would be an open city on an island for anybody to go visit. The city would look way different then now.There wouldn't be any air planes because now the cars would have different models.There'd be flying underwater or cars that made with a huge magnet that gets attracted to magnetic streets in my dream city.The buildings would be skyscrapers and would end up looking like buildings made by glass.Looking a lot like the Olympic stadium with more tads of course.The security would be robots that take down crime right away when needed.It would be a super nice place for viewing

  12. rather than just a wonderland with advanced technology and would like to imagine an eco friendly environment as well as less cruel. I would like to see a green environment and not see the world being full of cities, i can imagine machines that scan trash for compost recycling and trash. i would also like to see less cruel environment where animals wont be harmed for getting near crops, beacause meat eaters and vegans are both guilty. i would also like a city that will be of normal climate and put an end to global warming. of course there will be all sorts of awesome cars that might be able to start driving themselves. I would welcome all people to the city no matter their gender age or race. buildings are already big enough as they already are and we dont need to make more. Finally, i would imagine a place where school will be a lot easier and better for kids to all be succesful

    My dream city would be pollution and deforestation free. If I had a choice, I would ban cars that run with petrol. Only electric cars like Tesla's would be allowed. I would have a good infrastructure but same time make sure we don't destroy our environment and pollute the city. Just like every city this my dream city would also have facilities such as schooling, hospitals, groceries stores and etc..
    With a lot of greenery my city would also be advanced in technology.

  14. My Dream City would be a very environmentally conscious city with a lot of green spaces such as; parks, fields and forests. There would be close to no pollution. The people would be kind and everyone would be employed, no one would be poor or hungry because everything would be affordable. In this dream city art and culture would be encouraged and people would be aloud to express themselves freely without fear of being mocked or put down by others. The city would never have any natural disasters or anything like that and the weather would never get too cold or too warm. In conclusion my dream city would be a bit of the opposite of this one, no pollution, no poor people, no people unemployed etc.

  15. My dream city would amazing. First of all it would be a very very very high guarded city so no one could attack it. I would obviously be president of the city. There would be something for everyone in my city. I would have all of the seven wonders of the world in my city so no one would have to waste a bunch of money on traveling. There would also be no homeless people on the street because no one deserves that.

  17. My dream city would be more basic but with a little twist. I would have no politicians or government taking our money. Everything would be cheap and affordable with no taxes. People would be happy and nice and would respect the environment. There would be a lot of parks and fields so people could play sports. I would have the tallest building in the world along with other skyscrapers. Everyone would have a lamborghini and there would be annual drag races.

  18. My dream city would not be too different from cities today. It would be like New York, Boston ,Washington and Georgia combined the only difference is that it is economically sound. Everyone is allowed to live there and the the mode of Transportation is ecologically safe hover cars and bikes and ect. Society would be different because there would be no crime ‘cause the economy would be thriving and there would be no poor people that are being pushed to commit a crime out of necessity and the mentally disturbed would be able to receive the treatment they need and every one would be accepting of one another. That is my dream city!

  19. Buildings will be clean and neat. There will be advanced technology. Every adult will have a well payed job. The “perfect” city is going to minimize the amount of pollution as much as possible. No one is able to be racist or sexist. Any weapon that can harm any living soul will be banned, except for knifes. It will have many TV shows or movies or songs to entertain the people.

  20. My dream city would look so much different than the city we live in currently. It would most importantly have only the nicest people in the world live in it so that no bad could happen in that dream city. The building and cars would look like the BLACK OPPS 3 Nuketown map it would be very futuristic. It would be different because it will be a perfect city itself and it will never ever be able to be destroyed.

  23. If I were able to create my own dream city it would be good for everyone. Anyone who doesn’t vandalize is able to live in the city. It would somewhat look like Toronto but just have a couple of changes. There would be many more hockey arenas since it is my favourite sport, there would also be many fields for those who play sports that take place on a field. The only way you would be able to transport yourself is by train and cars. It would also have a huge mall with many cool stuff. The mall would look similar to Edmonton mall (lots of stores, water slide, hockey arena and hotel). In conclusion it wouldn’t be very different from our cities today just a couple modifications.

People won't suffer with money and fear it'll be a city of richness and peace. This city will have tall bridges so that people will get to places faster.There will be flying transportation to get to places.

  25. My dream city would most likely have no problems at all. The cars would run on something else other than fuel,that doesn't pollute and there would also be no more power plants because we won't need them anymore. It would be a futuristic city with a nice and clean inviorment. The people in the city will be very happy because they would all be rich and there would be no poverty. Also everyone will be treated equal. That would be my dream city.
