1. Faster and greener transport is a likely development for future cities, as the demand for
sustainable solutions continues to grow. This could include more efficient public
transport options and increased availability of electric vehicles.
2. It's hard to say whether future cities will completely do away with shopping malls, as
they serve as important gathering places and retail hubs. However, it's possible that they
will evolve to become more environmentally friendly and tech-driven, with features like
vertical farming and augmented reality shopping experiences.
3. Inexpensive housing is certainly a pressing issue in many cities, and efforts are being
made to find innovative solutions such as repurposing of unused buildings. However, it's
uncertain whether there will be enough progress to make inexpensive housing widely available in the near future.
4. Urban farming and community gardens are already gaining popularity in many cities,
as people look for ways to produce their own food and promote sustainability. While it's
unlikely that cities will become completely self-sufficient in terms of food production, we
may see more efforts to incorporate green spaces and urban agriculture into city planning. Culture Gợi ý đáp án
