1. My city will have a larger population than it does now.

Person A: Y - Due to global urbanization trends and factors like migration and economic growth, it is likely that cities will experience population growth by 2040.

Person B: N - Some cities may face population decline due to factors like outmigration or changes in economic conditions, so it's not guaranteed that every city will have a larger population by 2040.

2. People will still drive cars in the city.

Person A: Y - Cars will likely remain a popular mode of transportation due to convenience and lack of comprehensive alternative infrastructure by 2040.

Person B: Y - While alternative transportation options may increase, cars are still expected to be prevalent in cities due to personal preferences and the need for private transportation.

3. Buildings will be taller than they are now.

Person A: Y - With growing populations and limited space, it's plausible that cities will construct taller buildings to maximize urban density by 2040.

Person B: Y - Taller buildings can accommodate more people within a smaller footprint, which aligns with the need for sustainable urban development and efficient land use.

4. There will be more parks and gardens in the city.

Person A: Y - Urban planning and environmental consciousness are prioritizing green spaces in cities, providing benefits like improved air quality and recreational opportunities.

Person B: Y - The recognition of the importance of nature in urban environments is leading to the creation of more parks and gardens, enhancing the quality of life and promoting biodiversity.
