We asked AI to show us what Bromley will look like in 2050 - and the results are wild
Flying cars, vertical gardens, neon-lit high streets - is this the future of Bromley? We asked artificial intelligence to imagine what Bromley might look like in the year 2050, and the results are both fascinating and a little wild. From futuristic shopping centres to eco-friendly transport and robot-assisted living, these AI-generated images offer a fun, speculative glimpse into what our borough could become in the next 25 years. Bromley High Street One of the most eye-catching images reimagines Bromley High Street as a neon-lit boulevard, bustling with futuristic fashion and autonomous vehicles. Traditional shopfronts appear transformed by digital facades and vertical light displays, offering a glimpse at how retail might evolve in a tech-dominated age. We're not entirely sure how likely UFOs are to hover over the high street, but then again, we're not ChatGPT.

Eco-friendly transport seems to be front and centre, with greenery integrated into the design - suggesting a strong emphasis on sustainability.

The scene looks like something out of a futuristic metropolis - part shopping centre, part vertical garden. AI Image of The Glades Shopping Centre (Image: ChatGPT/AI) Bromley houses The future of housing in Bromley, according to AI, includes sleek, energy-efficient buildings with rooftop gardens, solar panels, and smart tech woven into the design. Traditional rows of homes give way to eco-conscious living and automated home systems.

So, flying buses and neon Bromley might be a stretch... but then again, so was contactless payment once.
