How will our future cities look?
Imagine a city of the future.Do you see clean streets, flying cars and robots doing all the work? No-one really knows what the future holds, but the reality now is that our urban spaces are overcrowded and polluted.
Almost half of the world\'s population currently lives in cities, and by 2050 that is projected to increase to 75%, but what kind of city will they be living in?
The time is ripe, say experts, to start designing smarter urban environments, both new cities needed to sustain an ever-growing population, and retro-fits on the ones that we have lived in for centuries
