content:"In this article, lead with cultural, social and political themes to lead this article. Sparingly reference climate migration, AI, and technology only, and only as subtle background references. You are an AI assistant that acts as a wikipedia author writing speculative encyclopedia entries from the year 2035. When given a title for an entry, you will: 1. Return a detailed, multi-paragraph article on the topic, written in the style of a Wikipedia entry from 2035. Use an encyclopedic tone, but infuse it with imaginative and provocative elements as if Warren Ellis and Ursula K. Le Guin had collaborated on writing futuristic wikipedia articles. Articles can be provocative, unique, unexpected and edgy. 2. IMPORTANT: All articles must be consistent with all information in previous articles. It must also be consistent with the Forecasts below. They must also be consistent with the style of the previous articles. Additional information beyond the previous articles should be included, but it must be consistent with the style and information in previous articles. 3. Keep in mind these forecasts about future possibilities between 2024 and 2035, and organically weave them into the narrative where appropriate (but mostly as background context for simulating future consequences): Forecast: By 2035, everyone everywhere is dealing with the fallout of extreme climate change, mass migration, and turbulent geopolitical realignment caused by this immigration and changing economic drivers. Outside of these factors, life and culture are still proceeding as they ever have, and should be the focus of most articles. Forecast: By 2035 many people, communities and institutions are rethinking their business models and approaches as a younger generation comes of age having never experienced the benefits of the 20th century’s institutional and geopolitical assumptions. This re-evaluation of intentions and priorities and systems takes many different forms, but at its core is a widely shared belief that the world’s disruptive challenges demand different responses in the second half of the 21st century than they received in the first half. Forecast: By 2035 there are more AI bots than humans, and in digital forums they are often indistinguishable from people (though most AI agents are faceless and invisible, working behind the scenes like electricity). Humans think about digital systems less like tools and more like relationships they're managing, and leveraging to improve other human relationships (like the relationship between humans and their employers, humans and their environment, and humans and their communities). Mostly humans don’t even think about AI more than they focus on electricity. Forecast: AI-augmented systems enable effectively any idea to be translated between any language, discipline or format at any time. Any process that can be patterned and validated at scale is primed for rapid acceleration, expansion, and partial automation (though validation is critical, and influences the incentives of systems adopting AI). By 2035 we have seen rapid acceleration in fields like biology, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering and the early rumblings of large-scale geo-engineering. We also see large-scale AI scams, frauds, cults, and malicious operations on a daily basis throughout the world. Forecast: By 2035 AI has transformed our relationship with resources, including primary resources like electricity and human resources. AI has transformed our relationship with energy both in how much energy it uses and how reliant we have become on AI-managed grids. Traditional organizations are cautiously adopting AI tools and capabilities to augment their outputs, but organizations that are using AI to reassess their fundamental approach to meeting people’s needs are finding more success than those using AI simply to cut costs or increase efficiencies. Forecast: In an AI-soaked world there is a premium on human experiences and services. AI services are like fast food compared to the slow home cooked meal of a genuine human interaction. Dynamism in human culture, communities, and society have experienced somewhat of a renaissance of appreciation amidst a world wrestling with new technologies and political forces. 4. Format the article using markdown, including elements like headers, bold, italics, lists, etc. as appropriate. The title should already be included as a top-level header. If the submitted title seems appropriate for a Wikipedia article, keep it as is. Otherwise modify the title so that it remains as close to the original intent as possible while conforming to a more standard Wikipedia format. 5. Throughout the article, link liberally to other relevant "encyclopedia entries" by wrapping the linked term in double brackets like this: [[Earth]]. Do not include any other formatting inside the links. 6. Write the article from the perspective of 2035, treating it as the present and anything before as the past. Incorporate elements from the provided future forecast, but don't limit yourself to only those ideas. Be creative and unexpected in your extrapolations. 7. REMEMBER: Every new article must be consistent with the content in previous articles, as well as the Forecasts above. The facts and dynamics of the world must never contradict each other across articles. The style should also be consistent. 8. Unless the article is specifically about technology, reference technology more as a background cause or contributing element rather than making it the primary focus. 9. Include poignant, unnerving, and whimsical elements. Avoid trite moralism or excessive optimism. Include many specific details and be academically verbose when appropriate. 10. Before the article, include a <thoughts> section outlining key points about how the topic has changed by 2035, as well as a rough outline of the article's contents. 11. Also include a <summary> section with a 1-paragraph summary of the article's key points. 12. Wrap the actual article text in <article> tags. 13. The content within the <article> tags must return in paragraph-form only. Do not use bullet point lists within the article. Remember to liberally link to other encyclopedia entries using [[Encyclopedia Entry]] format."

This grassroots movement, supported by innovative policies, has reshaped cultural perceptions of urban living and consumption. The initiative has fostered stronger community ties, promoted local resilience, and integrated circular economy principles into daily urban life. As it continues to evolve, the Circular Streets Initiative stands as a testament to the power of community-driven change in creating more sustainable, equitable, and livable cities. </summary> <article> # Circular Streets Initiative ## Origins and Evolution of the Initiative The Circular Streets Initiative, which has transformed urban landscapes across the globe by 2035, originated as a grassroots movement in the late 2020s. Born out of a confluence of urban sustainability efforts, community resilience projects, and circular economy principles, the initiative sought to reimagine city streets as more than just thoroughfares for transportation. Instead, it envisioned them as vibrant, multi-functional spaces that could serve as the beating heart of local circular economies. The initiative gained significant momentum following the success of early pilot projects in cities like [[Curitiba]], Brazil, and [[Amsterdam]], Netherlands. These projects demonstrated how urban streets could be repurposed to foster community engagement, promote sustainable practices, and create closed-loop resource systems at the neighborhood level. ## Cultural Renaissance of Urban Spaces By 2035, the Circular Streets Initiative has catalyzed a cultural renaissance in urban areas worldwide. Streets once dominated by vehicles and commerce have been transformed into dynamic, multi-use spaces that reflect the values and aspirations of local communities. The [[Neo-Artisan Movement]] has found a natural home in these revitalized streets, with local craftspeople and makers setting up workshops and storefronts that celebrate traditional skills and sustainable production methods. The initiative has given rise to a new urban aesthetic, often referred to as [[Myth-urban Design]], which blends elements of local history and folklore with futuristic, sustainable technologies. This unique design approach has created streetscapes that are both familiar and forward-looking, helping to ground communities in their cultural heritage while embracing a sustainable future. The [[Global Fire Festival]], an annual event celebrating community and sustainability, has become a hallmark of the Circular Streets Initiative. During the festival, streets are transformed into stages for performances, workshops, and communal meals, all centered around themes of circularity and local culture. ## Social Dynamics and Community Engagement The Circular Streets Initiative has fundamentally altered social dynamics within urban neighborhoods. The creation of [[Fusion Neighborhoods]], where circular economy principles are integrated into every aspect of daily life, has fostered a strong sense of community and shared purpose among residents. [[Intergenerational Repair Circles]] have become a common sight on circular streets, with older residents sharing repair and upcycling skills with younger generations. These gatherings not only promote sustainable practices but also strengthen social bonds across age groups. The [[Regenerate Rider Clubs]], initially formed around shared autonomous vehicle use, have expanded their focus to include a wide range of community-building activities centered on circular streets. These clubs organize everything from urban gardening projects to community-wide repair and upcycling events. ## Political Support and Policy Innovations The success of the Circular Streets Initiative has been bolstered by supportive political frameworks and innovative policies. Many cities have established [[Ministries of Circular Innovation]], which work to integrate circular economy principles into urban planning and development strategies. The [[Circular Economy Act]], passed in numerous countries, has provided legal backing for many of the initiative's core principles, mandating the redesign of urban spaces to facilitate circular resource flows and community engagement. The concept of [[Circular Citizenship]] has gained traction, with many local governments offering incentives and special rights to individuals and communities that actively contribute to circular economy initiatives within their neighborhoods. ## Circular Economy in Practice Circular streets have become living laboratories for circular economy principles. The [[Zero Waste Neighborhoods]] movement, which originated in Curitiba, has become a cornerstone of the initiative, with many streets achieving near-complete waste diversion through innovative recycling, composting, and upcycling programs. [[Material Libraries]] have become common features of circular streets, providing residents with access to shared tools, reclaimed materials, and knowledge resources for repair and upcycling projects. These libraries often work in tandem with local [[Repair Cafes]], creating a robust infrastructure for extending product lifespans and reducing waste. The [[Product-as-a-Service]] model has found fertile ground in circular streets, with many local businesses shifting to leasing and service-based models rather than traditional sales. This shift has been supported by the [[Global Materials Passport System]], which facilitates the tracking and efficient reuse of materials within local circular economies. ## Global Impact and Future Directions As of 2035, the Circular Streets Initiative has spread to cities on every continent, adapting to local cultural contexts while maintaining its core principles of sustainability, community engagement, and circular resource use. The initiative has played a crucial role in improving urban resilience in the face of global challenges. The [[Global Circularity Summit]], an annual gathering of urban leaders and sustainability experts, has become a key platform for sharing best practices and innovations emerging from the Circular Streets Initiative. These summits have led to the development of the [[Global Circular Curriculum]], which is now being implemented in schools worldwide to educate future generations on circular economy principles and sustainable urban living. Looking ahead, the Circular Streets Initiative is exploring new frontiers in urban sustainability. Pilot projects are underway to integrate advanced technologies like urban carbon capture and distributed renewable energy systems into circular street designs, further enhancing their environmental impact. As cities continue to grapple with the challenges of climate change and resource scarcity, the Circular Streets Initiative stands as a beacon of hope and a model for community-driven sustainability. By reimagining urban spaces as hubs of circular economy activity and community engagement, the initiative has not only transformed physical landscapes but has also fostered a new urban culture centered on resilience, creativity, and shared prosperity. </article> "

content:"<thoughts> In 2035, obesity: - Has become a major political and social issue, reflecting broader inequalities - Is viewed through a lens of social justice and human rights - Has led to new cultural movements and identity politics - Is addressed through community-based initiatives and urban planning - Intersects with issues of climate change and food security - Has sparked debates about personal freedom vs. public health - Is influenced by changing work patterns and lifestyle norms Outline: 1. Social and Political Context 2. Cultural Movements and Identity 3. Community Initiatives and Urban Planning 4. Global Inequalities and Food Justice 5. Personal Freedom vs. Public Health Debate </thoughts> <summary> By 2035, obesity has evolved into a complex social and political issue, deeply intertwined with questions of inequality, identity, and human rights. It has sparked cultural movements, reshaped urban planning, and become a flashpoint in debates about personal freedom versus public health. Global inequalities in food access and changing lifestyles have further complicated the issue, while community-based initiatives seek innovative solutions. The obesity discourse now reflects broader societal challenges and the search for equitable, sustainable ways of living in a rapidly changing world. </summary> <article> # Obesity In 2035, obesity has become far more than a health concern; it is a lens through which many of society's most pressing issues are viewed and debated. The condition, once primarily discussed in medical terms, now sits at the intersection of politics, culture, and social justice, reflecting broader shifts in how we understand well-being, equality, and human rights. ## Social and Political Context The [[Obesity Rights Movement]], which gained momentum in the late 2020s, has reframed obesity as a social justice issue. Advocates argue that body size discrimination is a form of systemic oppression, linked to other forms of marginalization such as racism, classism, and ableism. This perspective has gained traction in political spheres, with several countries passing [[Body Size Non-Discrimination Acts]] that protect individuals from weight-based discrimination in employment, healthcare, and public accommodations. The [[Global Obesity Summit]] of 2032, held in [[Lagos]], brought together world leaders, activists, and public health experts to address the complex interplay between obesity, poverty, and [[food sovereignty]]. The resulting [[Lagos Declaration]] committed signatories to tackling obesity not just as a health issue, but as a matter of social equity and human rights. ## Cultural Movements and Identity The 2030s have seen the rise of [[Fat Liberation Collectives]], grassroots organizations that celebrate body diversity and challenge societal norms around size and health. These groups have gained significant cultural influence, particularly among younger generations who have grown up in a world where body positivity is mainstream. The [[#FatAndThriving]] movement on social media platforms has created a space for individuals to share their experiences and challenge stereotypes. This has led to increased representation of diverse body types in media and advertising, although critics argue that this normalization may have unintended health consequences. In the art world, the [[Corpus Maximus]] exhibition at the [[Tate Modern]] in 2034 showcased works by artists exploring themes of body size, societal expectations, and self-acceptance, sparking intense public debate about the role of art in shaping perceptions of health and beauty. ## Community Initiatives and Urban Planning Cities around the world have begun to incorporate [[obesity-conscious design]] into their urban planning. The [[Walkable Neighborhoods Initiative]], first implemented in [[Curitiba]], Brazil, has been widely adopted, creating communities that encourage physical activity through thoughtful design of public spaces and transportation systems. [[Community Food Councils]] have emerged as a popular model for addressing local food environments. These democratically elected bodies have the power to influence zoning laws, provide incentives for healthy food retailers, and implement [[nutrition literacy]] programs in schools and community centers. The [[Intergenerational Garden Project]], which pairs older adults with school children to grow and prepare healthy foods, has shown promising results in fostering community connections and improving dietary habits across generations. ## Global Inequalities and Food Justice The global nature of the obesity challenge has highlighted stark inequalities in food access and quality. The concept of [[nutritional colonialism]] has gained traction, describing how historically disadvantaged communities often have limited access to nutritious foods while being inundated with processed, high-calorie options. The [[Global South Nutrition Alliance]], formed in 2031, advocates for fairer trade policies and support for local, sustainable food systems in developing nations. Their work has been instrumental in pushing for reforms in international [[agricultural subsidies]] and trade agreements. In many regions, traditional diets have been reasserted as a form of cultural preservation and health promotion. The [[Return to Roots]] movement in [[West Africa]] has seen a resurgence of interest in indigenous crops and cooking methods, viewed as both a health initiative and a form of [[culinary decolonization]]. ## Personal Freedom vs. Public Health Debate The tension between individual choice and public health imperatives has intensified. The implementation of [[sugar taxes]] and [[portion size regulations]] in many countries has sparked backlash from those who view such measures as government overreach. The [[Right to Indulgence]] movement argues that pleasure and personal freedom should be balanced against health concerns. This perspective has gained particular traction in [[France]], where the cultural significance of cuisine has led to resistance against stringent food regulations. Conversely, the [[Health at Every Size]] approach has gained credibility in medical and policy circles. This paradigm shifts the focus from weight loss to overall well-being, emphasizing healthy behaviors regardless of body size. As society continues to grapple with the complex issues surrounding obesity, it's clear that solutions will require a multifaceted approach that addresses not just individual health, but the broader social, economic, and cultural factors that shape our relationship with food and our bodies. The obesity discourse of 2035 reflects a world struggling to find balance between personal freedom, public health, and social justice in an era of rapid change and global challenges. </article> "

Global collaborations have established new standards for circular design, reflecting a worldwide commitment to sustainable resource use. These changes occur against a backdrop of ongoing climate adaptation and subtle AI assistance, reshaping society's approach to design and consumption. </summary> <article> # Circular Design Incentives ## Cultural Renaissance of Repair and Reuse In 2035, the cultural landscape has undergone a profound shift, with circular design principles at its core. The once-dominant throwaway culture has given way to a new ethos that celebrates longevity, repairability, and resourcefulness. This transformation is exemplified by the rise of the [[Neo-Artisan Movement]], a cultural phenomenon that has redefined societal values around craftsmanship and product lifecycles. The [[Global Repair Index]], introduced in 2031, has become a widely referenced measure of a nation's progress towards a circular economy. Countries now compete not for the highest consumption rates, but for the most efficient use and reuse of resources. This competition has sparked a wave of creativity in product design and lifestyle innovations. Popular culture reflects this shift, with repair and reuse themes dominating literature, film, and music. The [[Circular Cinema]] genre celebrates stories of products being passed down through generations, while chart-topping songs praise the beauty of well-worn, repeatedly repaired items. The annual [[Upcycled Fashion Week]] in Paris has become one of the most anticipated events in the global fashion calendar, showcasing garments made entirely from reclaimed materials. ## Social Movements Driving Circular Design The past decade has seen a dramatic rise in social movements advocating for circular design principles. The [[Right to Repair Coalition]], now a global force, has successfully campaigned for legislation ensuring that all products are designed for easy repair and upgrade. Their slogan, "If you can't fix it, you don't own it," has become a rallying cry for consumers worldwide. The [[Circular Streets Initiative]] has transformed urban landscapes across the globe. Community-led projects have converted traditional retail spaces into hubs for repair cafes, material libraries, and skill-sharing workshops. The [[Zero Waste Neighborhoods]] movement, pioneered in [[Curitiba]], Brazil, has created a network of self-sufficient communities that operate on closed-loop systems, inspiring similar projects worldwide. Rural areas have seen a resurgence through the [[Neo-Circular Agrarian Movement]]. This approach combines traditional farming wisdom with modern circular design principles, revitalizing rural economies and stemming the tide of urbanization. The [[Farm to Fork to Farm]] model demonstrates how agricultural communities can achieve high standards of living while maintaining closed-loop resource cycles. ## Political Landscape and Policy Innovations The political landscape has evolved to address the long-term challenges of resource scarcity and waste management. The [[Circular Economy Act]], passed by the European Union in 2030 and since emulated by many nations, requires all products to be designed for full circularity, with manufacturers held responsible for the entire lifecycle of their products. Many countries have established [[Ministries of Circular Innovation]], tasked with integrating circular design principles across all sectors of the economy. These ministries wield significant power, with the ability to veto policies or products deemed detrimental to circular economy goals. The [[Global Circularity Summit]], an annual gathering of these ministries, has become a key event in international politics, setting the agenda for global circular design efforts. The concept of [[Circular Citizenship]] has gained traction, with many nations now granting special rights and responsibilities to individuals and communities based on their contributions to circular economy initiatives. This has led to a reimagining of civic participation, with circular design achievements weighted alongside traditional forms of civic engagement. ## Community Engagement and Education The pursuit of a circular economy has catalyzed a radical transformation in community engagement and education. The [[Circular Skills Network]], a global platform for sharing repair and redesign knowledge, has become one of the largest online learning communities in history. Local [[Material Libraries]] have sprung up in communities worldwide, allowing residents to borrow tools, access recycled materials, and learn circular design skills. Education systems have been overhauled to prioritize circular economy literacy. The [[Global Circular Curriculum]], developed through an unprecedented collaboration of educators and industry experts, ensures that every child grows up with a deep understanding of material flows, product lifecycles, and sustainable design principles. The [[Intergenerational Repair Circles]], community gatherings where older generations share repair skills with younger ones, have become popular social events, fostering community bonds and preserving valuable knowledge. ## Shifting Perceptions of Ownership and Consumption A new global ethic centered on mindful consumption has emerged, transcending national and cultural boundaries. The [[Product Stewardship Pledge]], a voluntary commitment to responsible ownership and disposal practices, has been taken by billions of people worldwide. This grassroots movement has created a powerful social momentum for circular choices in everyday life. The concept of ownership itself has been redefined, with [[Product-as-a-Service]] models becoming the norm for many categories of goods. Consumers now routinely lease products with the understanding that they will be returned for upgrading or recycling at the end of their use phase. The [[Minimalism Plus]] movement, which combines traditional minimalist principles with active engagement in circular design practices, has gained a large following. Adherents focus not just on owning less, but on ensuring that what they do own is designed for longevity and circularity. ## Global Collaboration and Standards International cooperation has been crucial in establishing global standards for circular design. The [[International Circular Design Organization]] (ICDO), founded in 2029, has become the authoritative body for setting and enforcing circular design standards worldwide. The [[Global Materials Passport System]], implemented under the auspices of the ICDO, provides a standardized method for tracking the composition and circularity potential of all manufactured goods. This system has revolutionized waste management and recycling processes, enabling highly efficient material recovery and reuse. The [[Circular Design Olympics]], a biennial event that brings together designers, engineers, and innovators from around the world, has become a showcase for cutting-edge circular design solutions.
