Reading Text: Our Future Cities

Cities in the UAE are changing fast, and we can only imagine how they will look in the future.
Fifty years ago, cities were very different. There were fewer tall buildings, and many people
lived in traditional homes. Today, cities are modern with skyscrapers and lots of technology.

In the future, cities will change even more. Experts believe that many people will live in smart
cities that use new technologies. For example, driverless cars might be common. These cars can
drive themselves and help reduce traffic accidents. In addition, city buses are expected to be
more energy-efficient and free for everyone.

People will also use flying cars, which we have seen in movies. This could change how we travel
and make cities less crowded. Furthermore, urban planners are working on green spaces and
parks to improve the quality of life. These areas will provide places for people to relax and enjoy
nature amidst the busy city. Overall, the future of cities in the UAE will be exciting and full of
new ideas.
