Micro-Mobility for Take-Away
Micro-Mobility will be – in addition to autonomous mobility services the first choice for short distances due to severe restrictions for classical individual motor car traffic and modified infrastructure for bicycles and such. Mobility services will offer a flexible variance of options around the corner. Privately ownership will decrease even further.

Even cooking is old school
In 2030 Everything-is-a-Service. Usually, meals in single- and couple households will be delivered or picked up - but not cooked or self- prepared. Cooking will only happen on special occasions or for events, and will be elevated with self-produced herbs and products from the personal indoor farm.

Your apartment knows you better than yourself
The trend “Quantified Self” will be mainstream – most people will track their life in 2030. The classic data like step counter, heart rate tracking or sleep pattern monitoring will be enhanced by additional vital data supplied by furniture e.g. bed, mirror, WC,... AI-assistants will be an early-warning system and health buddy and advisor at the same time e.g. providing tips for the proper nourishment.

Green areas are the new luxury
In very condensed spaces of cities the new luxury and relaxation oasis will be people’s own green space or garden. It will be used for recovery, maintaining well-being, growing herbs and vegetables, and experiencing self-efficacy and love for nature. A scenic drive into the countryside will cost lots of (time) effort and quickly accessible nature becomes more important.

Super-Integrated Smart Kitchen
Families are still cooking, but in urban settings, kitchens will be integrated with the spaces to maximize living. Separated kitchens will become rare as the space requirements will be precious, and kitchens will need to be integrated and smart. A stove might be integrated into the table top to maximize space. People with higher incomes will afford robots to prepare meals. Recipes will be online, and the ingredients will be delivered directly, fitting accordingly to the meals.

New Level of Patchwork
The family will stay a guarantor and social backbone. However, a tendency to move from “blood-family” to “family-of-choice” is a clear change in the social fabric. Flexible and intergenerational constellations allow for better childcare and support in older age: to age with grace - will be a luxury not everybody can afford, and different care models will be developed.

Everything is a Screen.
Watches, cars, kitchen appliances - almost everything will have a (touch-) screen in 2030. Even windows are usable as displays, and most of the screens will be managed from one central control unit. The variety of single-used, disconnected operating systems will belong to the past.
