Future Cities: 42 Insights and Interviews with Influencers, Startups, Investors

Tech and investment trends in smart cities, drones, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, driverless cars, Internet of Things and other innovations that used to be sci-fi just a few years ago.

Your Neighborhood Will Never Be the Same

By 2030 nearly 70% of the worldâ€™s population will be residents of a city. That means 3 billion more people will be living in cities in the next 30 years. Our generation is destined to witness an incredible number of new cities and new buildings built to host our new neighbours. Once these cities are built, they wonâ€™t be built again. And they wonâ€™t be changed easily either.

As in the tale of Alice in Wonderland, to get the right answers, you first have to find the right questions. I donâ€™t have all the answersâ€”nobody doesâ€”but Iâ€™ve collected many interesting tools along the road.
These tools may help you and me to understand current and future trends in tech and culture. Itâ€™s a small competitive advantage, but in the coming days it may be essential.

Enjoy the insights and the interviews. If you donâ€™t agree, feel free to contact me. I welcome any challenge. This isnâ€™t a one-way conversation, after all. This is a global game.
