MY MODEL "CITY OF THE FUTURE"

My model city is called Queen's Town. I wanted to create a town that solved a lot of modern problems. Having spent a long time researching current cities, I understand the problems they have. Queen's Town has solved many of these problems using new technology and ideas.

The first thing that makes Queen's Town better is the housing. Having heard about the high house prices in many cities, I built lots of affordable apartment buildings. They were constructed with a 3D printer. There will be enough for everyone, so there will be no homeless people, and everyone will have more money.

The next improvement is the transportation. Having seen how congested many cities are, I introduced several new transportation systems. There is a subway that takes people anywhere in the city very quickly. In addition, there are sell-driving taxis for  shorter journeys. They will be used all over the city. They are safer and cheaper, than normal taxis. They look really cool, too!

Another thing that makes Queen's Town so good is how clean the air is. There will be very little pollution. Having understood the environmental effects of fossil fuels, I put solar panels on the sides of every building. Using renewable energy is cheaper and much more eco-friendly.

Queen's Town will be a wonderful place to live because of these modern solutions. I think everyone will love it!
