DESCRIPTION
A city exists for the sake of a good life, not for the sake of life only.TRANSCRIPT
A CITY EXISTS FOR THE SAKE
OF A GOOD LIFE, NOT FOR THE SAKE
OF LIFE ONLY -ARISTOTLE (384- 322 BC)
SMART CITIES The compounding effects of climate change, lack of sustainability, inefficient and obsolete infrastructure and continued population growth represent the complex of challenges cities all over the world are facing, and to which many see only one effective response: SMART CITIES
The potential for smart cities is enormous, BUT without:1. a strong political vision 2.close cooperation among the business community,3. researchers and decision-makers it will be nothing but empty words
The New Economics of Cities: "Cities now represent the core hubs of the global economy, acting as hives of innovation in technical, financial and other services."
CITY PEOPLE’S FUTURE
2050: ¾ earth’s population will live in urban ’s centers (estimation)
f.e.: yet, 80% of Finns live in citiesExplosion of this phenomenon is estimated
will happen in Far EastNeeds change day by day – Cities change
