The future of cities
The world is moving from agrarian to urban at a faster pace than ever before, according to reports. By 2050, two out of every three people will live in urban areas. But rapidly growing cities create difficult challenges when it comes to traffic, housing, social infrastructure and environmental footprint. How can we meet the opportunities and challenges of the modern city and build towards more sustainable and socially diverse cities where people can live comfortably?
