We will also have to rely more on alternative energy, such as solar and wind power. All this seems certain, but there are plenty of things about city life in the future which are not certain.To find out what young people think about the future of urban life, a teacher at a university in Texas in the United States asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50,000 people in the year 2025.Here are some of the ideas they had:Garbage shipsTo get rid of garbage problems the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun, preventing landfill and environmental problems.Batman NetsPolice will arrest criminals by firing nets instead of guns.Forget smokingNo smoking will be allowed within a future city's limits.
