Paddington 2025 Script Concepts

THE FUTURE : 2025 Paddington Central

ARCHITECTURE 

Future technology will influence the retail experience to either support online shopping or revert back to open market spaces
Communities close to CBD's are office enforced whilst communities further away develop in industrial means

Significant sized spaces are required for computer/technological services

Shopping stores become hologram spaces in communal green space (hologram of store logo above space)

Education areas in 2025 allow for virtual educations for children

Residential apartments are designed for flexible maintenance of services and adaptable spaces allow for less spaced required by occupants

As a result of rises in natural disasters, emergency plans and procedures are known by the entire community and implemented into community centre design

Products and resources are either delivered to individual's homes or picked up from delivery sites (within the cluster cities) shortly after hologram purchase

MEDICINE/HEALTH

Health is analyzed by implanted chip (ie. the ‘iME’)

Medicine allows people/skin to look younger and life spans will continue to increase

Plants/trees are genetically changed so only grow to a certain height and require less maintenance

Gene manipulation is a new technology starting to emerge

iMe chip analyzes emotion for individual/professional reflection

TRANSPORT

Road system in Paddington (Latrobe Terrace) under consideration during 2012-2016

Widening of roads on main street and bus lanes will be implemented

Freight moving will become a future necessity - require their own roads or tunnel systems

Cycling and walking paths will be important within the near future

Bike racks need to be available

Powered vehicles such as scooters and powered bikes will also come into play

Latrobe Tce, Given Tce and Enoggera Tce will become built up as the residential zones around the area increase in capacity

Vertical underground parking

Transport integrated into electrical engines

Delivery services and public transport occupy most of the roads

Products and resources are either delivered to individual's homes or picked up from delivery sites shortly after hologram purchase

SOCIETY

Society becomes closer and faster paced due to technological advancements

Less privacy - implants allow all to know where you are and you're current health

Individuals can attend virtual 'parties' or meetings through virtual hologram

'Your' own technology knows your taste in music, fashion, etc. iME and simplifies shopping etc.

High dependency upon technology.. concerns about viruses or the fact that independent technologies may be able to learn and take over humanity

Advertising is everywhere.. unfortunately money and the market still rule society

Non-advertising spaces are enforced by law as a result of society's non-advertising revolution

Due to a rise in natural disasters.. emergency plan and procedures are known by the entire community

Sports still allow for exercise and require space

Local communities thrive through ingenious use of shared 3D printers and other equipment to create whatever they need from recycled materials

TECHNOLOGY

Virtual games and virtual walls etc virtual shops are the norm
Fingerprint coding links into 'computer walls' (when you simply touch it) and brings up your details, information etc.

Basic robots will help with around the house jobs

Individuals attend 'parties' or meetings in virtual hologram form

Room talks to occupant and provides services and information (ie. time, energy usage, answers general questions, links to phone etc)

New materials for fashion: clothes change interior climate etc.

'Your' own technology knows your taste in music, fashion, etc. iME

Education games are practice for realistic situations so kids grow faster mentally and individuals are able to train

Majority of energy obtained renewably and used locally

Plants/trees are genetically changed so only grow to a certain height and require less maintenance

Phones are available for wrist implantation

Energy obtained from people walking along energy obtaining tiles

Travel is available virtually but individuals still enjoy travelling away from their cities

Virtual tourism is an expense to keep tourism afloat within the market

Local communities thrive through ingenious use of shared 3D printers and other equipment to create whatever they need from recycled materials

Concept found online of the world we may live in in 2025:
Scenario 3: Centralised survival:

"Centralised survival examines a world that only just woke up in time to environmental challenges: dramatic climate change, subsequent food shortages and freak weather conditions have led to the need for strong government intervention. A strict carbon quota system has been brought in to curb harm to the planet, impinging on everything from travel to the entertainment industry and reining in the wasteful excesses of the early 21st century. Nevertheless, the need for universal action has given society a common focus and a shared sense of "being in this together" – a modern-day Blitz spirit prevails – and political squabbling seems like a relic of a lazier age."
