2030: Pilot Project – Bioluminescent Plants and Westminster Metro Station
In 2030, London took its first major step towards sustainability by introducing bioluminescent plants. These plants, developed in laboratories through genetic engineering, were used in a pilot project at Westminster Metro Station. By integrating these natural light sources both inside and around the station, energy consumption was significantly reduced. The project served as a prototype for future urban sustainability efforts, demonstrating how such technologies could minimize the city’s environmental footprint.
2050: Organic Bridge and Biomaterials
By 2050, bioluminescent technology had become a key part of London’s infrastructure. An organic bridge near Westminster, illuminated by bioluminescent plants, was constructed using algae-based biomaterials. This bridge not only added aesthetic value but also enhanced sustainability. The bioluminescent plants provided natural light, creating a unique visual experience.
2080: Organic High-Rises and a Bioluminescent Future
In 2080, London’s urban landscape was transformed with high-rise buildings made from algae-based biomaterials, taking on organic forms. These structures, covered in bioluminescent plants, lit up the city and also integrated photovoltaic systems to produce energy, making them self-sustaining. London became a model of how nature and technology could merge to create a sustainable urban future.
