The future of cities
admin | Saturday, October 22nd, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Two thirds of the world’s population is forecast to live in cities in 2040 and cities are proving an effective scale to respond to many of the challenges of resource constraints and a changing world. Cities are therefore becoming a focus for companies interested in understanding future growth opportunities and for governments developing responses to the challenges. Some of the emergent thinking on this topic was presented in a paper at the summer 2011 TED Global conference in Edinburgh. Click here to read the paper.
Thanks Greg, great content. I liked the Future Cities paper, particularly the city typologies and trajectories.
