MORE THAN 70% OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION WILL LIVE IN CITIES BY 2050
At CityAge, we talk to city builders every day who are solving the world’s biggest problems, from climate change, to accessibility, to inclusive economic growth. We put together digital events, roundtables, and market research showcasing how cities are rising to the occasion, innovating in the face of some daunting, and (forgive the buzzword) disruptive challenges.
The idea of this show is to share those conversations – the kind we get to be a part of all the time. They’re free-flowing, human, energizing, clear and hopeful. We’ll talk to government leaders, industry leaders, startup founders, architects, engineers, and more. We’ll ask them how they’re building the future, but we’ll also ask them about their challenges and hopes for the future.
We live in an urban world, and it’s getting more and more urban by the day. So when we talk about the future of cities, we’re actually talking about the future of humanity. And we’d like to think pretty much everyone cares about that.
We hope you’ll listen in. And we hope you like it. After all, you can’t build the future alone.
