THE FIRST DEGREE TO DESIGN THE CITIES OF THE FUTURE
Today, half the world’s population lives in cities. By 2030, over 70% of the world’s population will be urban, and will generate 80% of the wealth globally. This makes cities the true engine of the the global system.
This dizzying change is leading to new realities, such as collaborative economies, Big Data, electric vehicles, new infrastructure, changes in social relations and of course changes in the environment.
