Something urban planners are looking at now is the creation of“smart cities”.According to John Rossant,founder and chairman of the non-profit organization New Cities Foundation,technology is the way forward.He thinks that it's generally accepted that“cloud computing,
ubiquitous internet,robust 5G networks etc,will transform our cities.”He says technology is
really“a game changer”,in urbanisation.It would collect large amounts of data about how a city is performing and may improve how a city functions.
This may sound like a utopian(乌托邦似的)view.For now,some big cities around the
world are trying out more low—tech schemes to try and make them desirable places to live
and work in.Building shared—ownership housing and improving public transport are some ways. And encouraging cycling and building bike lanes can keep the population healthy and cut down on smog.What would make your city a better place to live in?
