Thinking cities, la sociedad conectada


Thinking cities, la sociedad conectada

Más del 52% de las personas vive en ciudades. Se calcula que en el año 2050 serán el 70%. Es momento de empezar a redefinirlas antes de que sea demasiado tarde y colapsen. Algunos lugares como Dharavi, en India, lo agradecerían. Ericsson recoge en documental "Thinking cities" la opinión de "urbanistas" de todo el mundo.


"The documentary ‘Thinking Cities‘ deals with one of the most dramatic societal trends happening today: urbanization. The world population is expected to soar to more than 9 billion people by 2050, with roughly 70 percent living in cities. At the same time, Information Communications Technology (ICT) is extending its reach.

These parallel trends are intersecting at a time in which the world faces serious economic, environmental, and social challenges in achieving a more sustainable development. Thinking Cities explores the challenges and opportunities of urbanization in the Networked Society." - Ericsson, The Networked Society.
