SAMPLE REPORTING TO CLASS
The cities of the future will be different from the cities of today as an estimated 70%
of the world population will live in cities by 2050. They will be more advanced and
sustainable, with green buildings and eco-friendly public transport. People will not
need to use their own cars because the city infrastructure will be designed to
support public transportation. The cities of the future will have smart technologies to
make people's lives easier and help people more relaxed, such as AI assistants that
can help with daily tasks. Overall, the cities of the future will prioritize the well-being
of the environment and the people who live in them.
