The discussions at Urban Future. event highlight the necessity of mitigation, adaptation, and engagement, a high-level summary that is in line with the remarks of António Guterres, the UN Chief, who put it as follows: "We are playing Russian roulette with the planet." The urgency is clear—our planet is sending us distress signals, but are we truly listening? These concerns have also been echoed by the Mayor of the City of Rotterdam, Ahmed Aboutaleb, at the Urban Future. Welcome Reception, yesterday.

My life's journey has led me to a profound realization—a vision of a village so immense that it becomes a living, breathing ecosystem, self-dependent and self-reliant. In this village, the systems that govern us are rooted in our heritage, where medicine is not merely a science but a communion with nature, where architecture pays homage to the brilliance of our ancestors, where economics thrives through communal wealth, where governance is man-centered, where public health is a collective responsibility, where public administration serves the people, and where the legal system echoes the wisdom of our traditions.
