The Future of Cities
Cities are complex, fast-growing centres of urbanisation and civilisation. We have taken a step back to explore their purpose in today’s world of climate change, technology and economic inequality.
Are they for working, living, hospitality, entertainment and culture – in the way they were in the past? We turn to experts such as Greg Clark, Lisette van Doorn and Carlo Ratti for answers.
