2050.

Bluesea: Even if the poles did melt, it would take quite some time for all of the earth to be underwater. And if you notice, when ice melts in a cup of water, the water doesn't rise, it stays the same. (I can see an exception for Antartica to be fair) Also, I predict melting will end in about 2 decades, not because of human activity, but because this is a warming cycle that occurs once every 200 years. Also, by 2030, strong hurricanes will diminish.

For Auckland New Zealand I predict,...

The population of Auckland to be around 2.5 million people (current projections are suggesting only 2 million so I am being a bit over). This population growth would have been fueled from immigration from Asia and the Pacific Islands as well as possibly other areas of the world that haven't traditionally been a source of new immigrants (Africa and latin America perhaps), making the city much more diverse than it is today.

The Inner suburbs would see a major increase in density,though efforts would be made to retain the historic bay villa type houses in suburbs like Ponsonby, Grey Lynn and Parnell.

Skyline of Downtown Auckland would be much taller. The Auckland Skytower (328m) would probably be in threat of losing its status as the tallest structure in the city.

A subway underneath Queen Street or Albert Street would have been built, linking Britomart to the western Line near Mt Eden Rd.

A light rail line lmay be built starting near Sylvia Park, heading East through to Botany Downs and the flatbush development and then onto Manukau City crossing with the main railway line at Wiri and then heading to the airport. Then possibly extend through Mangare and cross the Manukau Harbour to link up to the reopened Onehunga Branch line.

The current North Shore Busway under construction along the Norther Motorway may hae been converted into light rail connecting to Britomart possibly through a second harbour crossing.

A second harbour crossing will have been built, as either a tunnel or a second bridge. This crossing would either be near the location of the Present Auckland Harbour bridge or link Mechanics Bay to Devonport or Pt Chev to Birkenhead.

The western Ring route (South Western Motorway and Upper Harbour Motorway) would have been completed providing an alternative motorway access to State Highway 1 through the city. Periodic discussions about the Eastern Corridor would still pop up but be rejected by the public. The North Western Motorway would be extended as far as Helensville. Northern Motorway would be extended as far as Warkworth and beyond.

The Waikato expressway would have been long finished and probably extended passed Cambridge by this point ending near Rotorua, thus providing a four lane road between Auckland and Rotorua.

The proposed Flatbush development would have long been completed and the city would be beginning to sprawl into the Clevedon and Maraetai areas.

The Waikato expressway would encourage more people to live in smaller towns along the waikato River such as Huntly and Ngarawahia and commute to Auckland and Hamilton for work. Likewise, the Northern motorway extension will encourage more people to commute to Auckland from towns such as Warkworth and the Snells Beach area.

Pukekohe would have become a much larger town due to its proximity to Auckland, and possibly become a part of the Auckland connurbation (though that is unlikely due to the importance of the agricultural areas surrounding the town and measures being introduced to halt Auckland's sprawl).

The Hibiscus Coast and particularly Orewa will see many tall Residential skyscrapers spring up (at the moment there is only one in Orewa built about two years ago). Some sort of major arterial route will have been built linking the Whangaparora Penninusla to the Northern Motorway that bypasses Silverdale.

The wharves west of the Viaduct basin (next to Westhaven Marina) will have ceased being used for Port functions and will have been extensively redeveloped along the same ways as the viaduct basin was in the 1990s.

hmm... by 2050, pay phones will be rare because of cell phones, VCR's will be rare and considered an antique, DVD's may start to be used less because of something new, HDTV may become the standard TV format, a higher hi-speed internet than now, CD's might also be phased out. All cars will have some kind of significant entertainment in them.

SimFox · July 6, 2006

MadTV_Freak: WAKE UP!!! Pay Phone are all but none-existent in most European countries! VCR's are rare already, again haven't seen any in shops here for couple of years, and given that their lifespan is about 5-7 years, so soo you'll find one ONLY in a museum, Normal DVD's will be out in 10 years replaced by new higher density record format, ReRecordable media and also HDDs will most probably be based on some sort of energy independent RAM within 5-10 years.

MadTV_Freak · July 7, 2006

Ummm, Im not in Europe, duh! VCR's are not rare where I am? Ummm, not everybody is in Europe?

Amryai200 · July 7, 2006

In 2050, Houston's population will probably have grown significantly but will have started to level off. I'd guess the population would be anywhere from 2.5 to 3 million. The metro area will probably be a bit larger than it is now, maybe around 6 million people. The MetroRail will have expanded significantly, and there will be at least one or two more loops around the city. Both airports will probably get upgrades and remodels of some kind, and the CBD may be bigger.

As for the global scene, I expect oil will (I hope) be replaced by either hydrogen or some other renewable fuel source. Nanotech will have made possible massive advances in just about everything (either that or it won't end up living up to the hype, and will only see limited use). Cell phones or something similar will become the ultimate multimedia device, and will include MP3 capabilities, satellite TV and internet access. computers will, obviously, continue to advance at astounding speed. By 2050 I expect computers to be vastly faster and better-performing than current ones, with prices the same or cheaper than they are today (not adjusting for inflation, i mean - so in the mid-21st century, I expect computers to still be anywhere from $500 to $2000, which effectively would make them alot cheaper). The US will still be a major world power, but it will have competition - from China, obviously, and possibly India. I seriously doubt China will still be communist by 2050; it will probably have made the full transition to a capitalist/democratic government system, and developmentally will probably be closing in on the first world, if it isn't there already. There may be another "Green Revolution" that will solve many of the problems created by the first one, but poverty and starvation will still be common in places. I expect Africa will still be pretty destitute, but may be seeing some improvement.

India will have improved significantly in living standards, and while it will not be as well off as China, it too will be closing in rapidly on the developed nations. India and China's development will put a big strain on resources during the first half of the 21st century, the repercussions of which will be felt for decades to come. Nuclear power will see a resurgence, IMO, with safer nuclear technology making it acceptable in the eyes of the public. Other methods of renewable energy will drastically reduce greenhouse emissions, but the consequences of the 20th century will begin to be felt, mainly in rising sea levels and worsened weather conditions, although I doubt it will be catostrophic for humanity.

Space travel will be more commonplace, though I doubt it will be as affordable and accessible as air travel is today. America will have sent a man to the moon again and to Mars, and there will be lunar (government) settlements, with talks of sending civilians into space. There could be space hotels and such, but they would be primarily for the wealthy. Similarly, the better off may actually live permanently in space stations as well.

The EU may eventually become the true ruler of Europe, with the current national governments taking roles not unlike that of US states. America may go to war with Iran, though I really don't know much about that. Russia will continue to see problems with their decreasing population (along with W. Europe) and health problems, but their economy will improve dramatically. The world population will have begun to level off; in 2050, it will probably be close to 10 billion, finally levelling off at exactly 10 bil. a few years later (this has actually been predicted by experts, i think).

So, yeah, I deviated from the topic, but I wanted to share my views of what the world may be like in 44 years as well, not just the city I live in.

Talengryphon · July 26, 2006

Provided we make it to 2050 without blowing ourselves up, (A Buddy of mine recently said that the mess Israel is embroiled in right now could spark WWIII, provided that alliances start kicking into play) here is what I think will happen.

Within the next year WWIII will happen, and provided nobody is idiotic to plant a dirty bomb anywhere, the world eventaully comes out with another 80 years worth of technology under it's belt in a realtively short period of time. (Think of what WWII did JUST for aircraft.)

Cars fade into obscurity due insanely high oil costs, America reaches economic paralysis before 2010 due to failing transport infrastructure, and heinous mis-managment. Suburbia vanishes into abandonment as more people move back to the cities. Food riots start, then become commonplace because of the transport problem.

Facing astronomical debt, rampant opposition, the rebuilding of Iraq, decimated infrastructure, and corrupt politician bordering on fantasy, the USA declares bankrupcy in the early teens. Local governments pick up as much slack as they can and ride out on the results of our current construction boom until the 20's. The midwest is mostly vacated by people trying to find homes where there is still working plumbing and electricity. With no one to stop them the south finally rises again and secedes from the union, thinking they can fare better on their own. What little energy is left is spent rebuilding America's rail network, and creating a more stable government. In the late teens-early 20's while the government is concerned with other issues, and the big oil companies are too busy collapsing, the electric car makes a dramatic resurgance, providing a short/moderate range solution for a starving nation. Able to transport goods once again the USA begins to return to normal. In the 30's Rebuilding provides many Americans with quality manufacturing jobs once again, the likes of which have not been seen since the 80's. While it has fallen from the list of super powers (Being superceded by the EU, and China), the USA is stronger interally, and ready to focus more on domestic concerns. New high-tech industries rise up around technology first made feasable in WWIII, such as a repeller fields (aircars), diamond-boron, and biological processors (computers), high-tensile, high strength alloys and ceramic composites (architecture/engineering), "cold" fusion, (propultion, and energy generation) and quantum mechanics (imagine a mars probe with no light-speed communications delay). Poverty will still exist in many parts of the world, and people will not have changed much insofar as attitudes are concerned.

And that in short is how I see the next 44 years playing out.

Cheers, Talen

China will be the new superpower after america....

thats all i got...

jmjselect · July 31, 2006

Atlanta:

-Atlanta will continue to grow as it's the economic powerhouse of the south(USA)

-More industry related to tech will locate/re-locate to the metro area, since we are big on it here already(we're one of the most important communications hub)

-it will spread out more(our metro area already reaches into alabama) but also more attention will be towards the city itself. mainly the mid-town and buckhead(which is our up-town unoffically). we will have a denser and more populas dt/mt/ut

-medical advances with continue to grow(home to the cdc, center for disease control). and many award winning hospitals around the metro area.

-will be home to one of the largest number of rich people(there was a recent stat that indicated that atlanta will have the most growth in rich people(moving wise)

-the busiest airport in the world(hartsfield-jackson) will grow and continue to hold the title(since we are the transportation hub of the US)

-will be home to the smartest/richest/handsomest/most-liked person in the world(me!)

-will still continue to be important in the music industry(i think hip-hop wise, 60% of all album sales are of artists of atl)

-our movie industry(we're just getting started, but there's much hope) will grow and be home to many movies.

-atlanta motorspeed way will be upgraded to handle speeds of up to 350mph.

downsides

-our highway system will be heavily clogged(CLOGGED, looks like dogged), even after upgrades and additions

-Will still be home to many redneck jokes and stories

-toll boths will be added to various roads and highways

-our illegal immigration population will grow(if we don't get a handle on it) GA is a popular place for em.

-crime will go up

-atlanta will loose the title of "meanest city towards homeless" <--in terms of how much money the city will give them

-we will still produce mentally-ill people like cynthia mckiney(sp?)

-we will problay loose trees(not that i'm a tree hugger, but they're nice especially when it's so dense like in atl)

Sim shady · July 31, 2006

I predict by 2050, most of the world's major oil fields will have dried up. New ones will have been dug in former wildlife reserves and the world will face dramatic energy crisis. Most large animal species will have died out because of loss of habitat. The world will continue its growing trend of the rich growing richer and the poor becoming poorer and more numerous. Billions of poor people will live in unsanitary conditions while the world struggles to find ways to provide enough food and any clean fresh water to support them. By 2100 the world will be a place beyond the scope of our imaginations with drastically different climates, civilizations, and technologies dwarfing ours of today. A new world order will be established over a much smaller popluation of people, creating the perfect utopia.

I'm quite fond of Neal Stephenson's vision of the future:

The Federal government has collapsed under it's own weight. All services previously provided by the government, (police, schools, mass transit, and so on) are run by private companies.

A few states have become independent countries. The rest of the former USA is unincorporated sprawl dotted by small city-states.

Franchises have become the only profitable businesses.

As the government imploded, it sold off most of it's assets. The Interstates and US Highways are now privately owned toll roads. Military hardware, including naval vessels, have been sold to private owners.

The Dollar is hyperinflated to the point that quadrillion notes are 'small' bills.

The real world has so many problems that people retreat into the Metaverse, which is like a virtual reality internet.

I'm guessing the world.

Europe=Eperopolis

Northeastern US= One huge city

Instead of making farms grow sideways we stuff them in skyscrapers to save room...its demented I know.

The Philippine government begin for the urbanization of Polillo Island which replacing from metro manila. Many of those in one day become a metropolis of a multicultural trend first from Philippine nearby neighborhood(Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand)...

... and then the city is estimated 50 million inhabitants if the skyline ranking is 200,000 points for the residential highrise.

I think these group of islands is seated for the supernational government in southeast Asia called United Archipelagic and Peninsular states of Asia.

urbanlover · August 9, 2006

well... i am a Pakistani and will talk about Pakistan....Pakistan is one of the fastest growing economies in Asia since 2003 and is experiencing a major economic change or economic boom.............so iam very hopeful about a bright future of Pakistan..............

so in 2050,

Pakistan will be a developed country free of poverty(as poverty is continously decreasing in Pakistan and pakitsan will be poverty free till 2025(Insha-Allah))

Karachi(commercial capital of Pakistan having apoulation of about 12 million at this time) will be one of the largest metros in the world with a lot and lot and lot of businesses and lots and lots of skyscrapers and will be the most "URBAN" city of pakistan

Islamabad (capital of Pakistan with 700,000 ppl at this time) one of the beautiful and nicely planned metro...

Lahore(cultural and emotional capital of Pakistan with 8 million ppl at this time) will be a colourful bustling metro with a very nice skyline (which is already under process of development) and also a lots of cultural activity

Gwadar(new 21st century port city of Pakistan which is under process of development at this time) will be one of the most beautifully planned port city of the world(also will be serving as an energy entrance point from gulf to east asia(china,india and pakistan etc).........

Faisalabad(textile capital of Pakistan with 1.9 million ppl having a big big textile industry at this time) will be the city having one of the best textile industry in the world.....

(INSHA-ALLAH!)

at national level Pakistan will be having a very good economy with a dense network of motorways all over Pakistan and with a network of very fast trains ( i dont know what will be fast at that time).........................

I think villages will be difficult to find in Pakistan because the estimated population of Pakistan at that time will be 300 million..........so all pakistan will be urban pakistan.....

at international level asia will be the focus of world instead of europe or america because asia is the fastest growing region in the world............so 21st century is century of asia.........

that's all .................

GOOD LUCK PAKISTAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
