22-Public Safety

Welcome to the 2084ste Ghent, a city where progress and technological innovations are central. In our ever-evolving future, society is increasingly permeated by advanced technologies that are having a profound impact on everyday life. These innovations not only make our lives easier, but also strengthen our safety.

Ghent police

Self-driving guards on patrol  

In Ghent's future society, order is maintained by means of self-driving vehicles equipped with cameras that act as a kind of autonomous enforcement agency. These integrated cameras continuously perform environmental scans and are able to detect crimes and even identify criminals. The vehicles constantly patrol the streets of Ghent, drastically reducing crime rates. 

The digital watchers 

In addition to cameras, our future city also has sensors that scan individuals and provide information about their identity, including any criminal records or other relevant data. In case of emergency, people can contact the police directly thanks to the security chip that is embedded in everyone's skin. The chips also sense danger in the person themselves, allowing direct communication with emergency services in the event of an emergency. All this strengthens the sense of security and well-being among citizens.  

Privacy and personal scores

An intriguing aspect of our future society is the rise of personal scores. These indicate how 'good' or 'bad' someone is and are influenced by individual behavior and actions. Everyone can always increase their (bad) score. For example, someone who enters treatment after a crime or has served his sentence may receive a slightly higher score. The scores only have an impact on the law and penalties, they have no influence on the social aspect and the citizen themselves. 

Education and Technological Development 

The education system in the 2084th Ghent focuses on teaching skills that are relevant to the technological progress of society. Children are exposed to coding, robotics and artificial intelligence from an early age, preparing them for the jobs of the future. In addition, virtual reality and augmented reality are used as powerful learning tools, allowing students to be immersed in interactive learning experiences. 

Legal system

The legal system has also undergone a transformation as a result of these technological advances, with court cases largely managed by automated systems that ensure objectivity and fairness. While human involvement still exists, technology plays a crucial role in enforcing the law and ensuring justice. This is an era where technology and justice go hand in hand to create a fair society. Thanks to this improved legal system, there will be much less crime in our future society. 

Social Integration and Diversity 

In addition to these technological developments, the 2084th Ghent also has a focus on social integration and diversity. Virtual communities provide a platform where people from diverse backgrounds can meet and share their experiences. This has led to a more inclusive and empathetic society where differences are celebrated and valued. 

Conclusion 

Our future continues to grow, driven by technological progress and innovation. But in the midst of this evolution, we must not forget what makes us human. In the 2084th Ghent we embrace this progress with open arms, while at the same time cherishing our core values of humanity and inclusivity. Together we are building a future that is both technologically advanced and human. Welcome to the Ghent of the future!
