Ive been trying to draw what the world will look like near the end of my life but I need outside ideas. What advances do you think we’ll make? What will housing look like? What about transportation. If we developed significantly stronger materials how will that affect architecture or other things? What are your ideas?
Full disclosure, my art is not nearly as good as anything pictured here. Nonetheless outside ideas will help inspire.

I think whatever we think the future is going to be like it probably won’t be accurate. Sure someone might get it mostly correct but looking past predictions what percentage has been close to being accurate?
The world is probably going to become more automatized but not to the extent it’s often thought to become. Some jobs are more automated but most people still need to be working since the world where no one needs to work for living would need too big change in the way economy works to happen.
Self driving cars are probably going to be a thing (unless a horrific accident completely caused by an autonomous vehicle happens causing huge backlash against them). But there will still be a percentage of people driving themself (not just the people who grew up with non-automatized cars but there will be new drivers who want to actually drive).
I think building as close to zero energy as possible comes the norm in many countries (probably due to government regulations).

Option 1: quieter
Option 2: Somewhere between the film version of Minority Report and the book ‘The Windup Girl’.
Option 3: About the same but with better toys

The world? Pretty much the same as it does today. Big cities may start looking like something out of Blade Runner (minus the flying cars), but the majority of the developed areas are still going to look like some version of suburbia, the ocean will still be wet, and the most of the U.S. will still look like the same rural wild areas and farmland that it does today.
The world is a big place.

No flying cars. We probably won’t have permanent colonies on other planets/moons.
We will have more crowding, more starving and climate refugees.

I’m wondering mostly about what advances might be made. If nanotechnology took off what would that do? Things of that nature

On the nano-tech side, I think it will make the biggest difference in health, technology, and coatings. If we are talking about what it will look like, the coatings will make surfaces tougher, shinier, and more resistant to getting dirty. They may also finally make glass that can cheaply generate electricity while remaining transparent, change transparency with the flick of a switch, and make any surface into a screen. All of these technologies are in their infancy right now, but prototypes exist for all three.
