Cities 2060 (World Science Festival 2021)
By 2060 over two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities. Dr Tony Matthews joins a panel of specialists in built environment, urban design, architecture, town planning and tech to imagine the cities of our future. How we live, work, commute and travel? What can be done to stop cities sprawling ever outwards? How can technology be used to create a better place to live? Will the COVID pandemic leave a lasting impression on our future city blueprints? And, most importantly, how can today’s science, technology and planning contribute to a better way of life and shape the cities of the future.
