My response:
Freekie@farbel As for vision, my suggestion would be to have a look at what's going on with #solarpunk , however their scope is wider.
As for me, I am interested in our money system and it's impact and also in complementary and alternative money systems and their possibilities, maybe also for housing.
As for housing, I would not be surprised if we would come to live in self-supporting communities, rather then in cities.
Investers will then of course have already sold their empty houses ðŸ¤
DoomsdaysCWYou know, I'm thinking you're right about that, @fdriesenaar . "As for housing, I would not be surprised if we would come to live in self-supporting communities, rather then in cities."

@DoomsdaysCW @fdriesenaar If we spread 10 billion people across the planet in small communities, where is the food grown? There is less than half an acre of arable land per person on the planet.
Good point. Obviously, those communities would have to have some population density. But perhaps those *cities* wouldn't be "concrete monstrocities," but places were folks would grow their own food -- balcony gardens, rooftop gardens, indoor greenhouses, food forests, etc. @farbel .
@DoomsdaysCW @fdriesenaar I might posit that cities as they exist now could be self-sustaining, with vertical agriculture and rooftoop gardens.
Exactly, @farbel ! Becoming self-sufficient and not relying on long-distance transport of food is so essential (imho)! @fdriesenaar
