The Urban Landscape of Tomorrow: Beyond the Horizon When we think about the cities of the future, it’s easy to get caught up in visions of sleek skyscrapers and automated vehicles. However, the true game – changers in urban development are focusing on far more nuanced and human – centric aspects. Tomorrow’s cities aren't just about scaling up; they're about building smarter, more resilient communities. One exciting new concept that’s gaining traction is the "hyperlocal hub" – a refined take on the 15 – minute city. Imagine a place where your daily needs, from a quick snack to education, are within arm's reach. This approach aims to cut down on long commutes, easing traffic and cleaning up the air we breathe. It’s all about creating self – sufficient neighborhoods that truly come alive. Beyond convenience, environmental innovation is becoming very important. Future urban centers will make way for extensive green spaces, vertical farms, and eco – friendly infrastructure that actively gives back to the environment. Think less concrete jungle, more breathing room. These green initiatives are vital for holding back the tide of climate change and boosting overall well – being. However, as cities prepare for this high – tech future, new challenges are appearing. How do we ensure that everyone, regardless of background, can enjoy the good things of these advancements? The digital divide might make the difference bigger between citizens if not carefully addressed. Future cities must go the extra mile to be truly inclusive, fostering a sense of belonging where technology serves to bring people together, not push them apart. This human element is what will truly define the success of our future urban landscapes. Question 23: All of the following are mentioned as aspects of "hyperlocal hubs" EXCEPT: A. quick access to educational opportunities. B. a reduction in traffic congestion. C. the primary use of automated vehicles for transport. D. the creation of self – sufficient neighborhoods.
