SMART CITIES: THE FUTURE OF URBAN LI FEThe global population is set to grow by two billion in less than 30 years. At the same time, urban populations are set to grow by that much-and more. The future of cities will be smart cities that lever data and technology to ensure convenience, perceived resource abundance, and safety. But while the opportunities and benefits of smart cities will be tremendous, the requirements to get there are not insignificant. The big question of the decades ahead is whether we can cross the digital divide quickly enough to ensure that a preferred future of abundance and convenience comes to fruition before dystopian risks become insurmountable.
