It's April 15, 2020. You've spent the past decade helping the city you live in, or nearest to, become more resilient. Now it's time to show the world all the amazing changes you've made.
What does your city look like at the end of 10 years of resilience development? What important new buildings, spaces, and neighborhoods exist?
For this mission, make a map of your city highlighting all of its new, resilient features in the year 2020.
You can work from a printed map -- cut it up, draw on top of it, add new labels, whatever it takes to show your future vision.
Or, make a digital map -- you can use Google maps, for example. Find out more about about how to use Google Map Maker here, or watch the video below.

In my city we have gone to solar energy and we have figured out how to make energy from things we use every day.

My city has a rooftop garden on every building. We have wind turbines that supplies the energy to the city and everyone is required to have a car that get 30 mpg or more.

Charleston, SC is better prepared for Hurricane disasters since FEMA and local governments learned their lessons from Hurricanes Sandy in NY and Katrina in the American south east

My city will have buildings with solar panels, gardens on roofs of houses, and the cars will run on an alternative fuel.

My city will have clean food and water. It will also have very advanced technology, but every thing will run on solar energy and other renewable sources of energy.

My city will have some inner rural areas for crop crowing so that people can get fresh crops. There will me underground, watertight bunkers that can hold 5,000 people and/or animals at once. In the bunkers, which are all connected, there will also be the dried food (the kind that astronauts eat) and a way to grow food. Above ground, the multifamily houses sit low and have two layers: the outer layer, a simple wall made out of bricks, and the inner layer, the living area connected to a cellar with watertight seals for the door. Buildings that are more than 5 stories have ball bearings so that they can wave slightly in strong winds, hurricanes, or earthquakes, preventing collapses. Water sources are filtered and constantly monitored my trained personnel and their machines to prevent spills or contamination.
Around the outer edges of the city, there are three walls that stretch 300 feet up, layered with steel, iron, and rock. The doors are all 300-500 feet away from each other, and there is only one door for each wall. There are military personnel standing by to prevent invasion of any kind. In bunkers and in every region of the city, there is a contamination prevention center where people of all ages go every month to be tested for various diseases. In times of disaster, people go there once a week.
As for transportation, it is mainly made up of horses and bikes. We do not rely too much on oil/petroleum. People do not have individual houses, but large mansions where several families can live at once. Of course, they all live in their own quarters, but there are only two 'fireplaces', which are actually using heat from the sun to warm the house. In the warmer months, people use massive solar panels to power AC systems.

My city will be prepared for everything. There will be an amazing energy source that will come from a bunch of hybrid mouses running on wheels. We will educate with brain technology such as mind senders that send information telepathically.

My city will be prepared for anything. It will have a good energy source to rely on. It will also be very well educated and prepared for any situation with drills. It will also be stylish and original. It will also be up to date on everything including technology.

My city will be well planned out and efficient. It will use a Shinkansen (Japanese bullet train) system and use fewer buses to be more efficient with public transportation. Also, it will have less major hospitals and mainly emphasize many smaller local treatment facilities. A highly skilled police force will be used to keep crime rates low. Schools will also be emphasized in order to ensure a better future for those who grow up in the city. Residential areas will be evenly balanced with businesses in order to prevent long drudging commutes and the unpreventable traffic that it causes. Hopefully my future city will be a smart, safe, and overall pleasant place to live.
