The Amazing Urban Innovations Transforming Our Cities

Future of Cities: More than 50% of the world's people live in urban areas, and there are now over 31 mega-cities boasting populations of over 10 million. This report explores how these urban landscapes will adapt to more growth.

Overcrowding, pollution, housing shortages and ageing infrastructures; many can't look past the symptoms of urbanization, but what if cities are actually the answer to a soaring global population? "What people don't think about is that when we are all packed in living in dense quarters, there's so much to gain", says New York based filmmaker Oscar Boyson. The level of innovation seen throughout the world is astonishing. From green belts in Medellin to the world's first "Smart City" in South Korea, to fog catchers in Peru, and geo-thermal powerplants in Reykjavik, we see the varied future of our urban centres.
