Children have imagined a future with robots being deployed to pick litter, more green spaces to play in and grow fruit and vegetables, as well as electric-only public transport and animals roaming free. The imagination of youngsters has been harnessed to create a mural depicting sustainable cities of our future, taking inspiration from a recent study of 2,000 eight-to-16-year-olds.
E.ON, which has its HQ in the city of Coventry and commissioned the study, enlisted local artist Ben Barter and muralist Katie O’Sullivan to bring the hopes of the youngsters to life in a mural titled ‘Our Imagined Future’ which was painted by a group of 9–12-year-old school children and is on display at the city’s FarGo Village.
Ben Barter said: “It has been inspiring to see how children interpret what a more sustainable future could consist of within this city. My personal favourite is the robots picking up litter and the animals living alongside us in an ecologically diverse environment.” The mural was commissioned to celebrate E.ON’s 15-year strategic energy partnership with Coventry City Council to transform the city’s approach to carbon reduction. The initiative sees the company become the city’s new Strategic Energy Partner, forming an alliance that aims to build a cleaner and more sustainable city.
