The Urban Revolution, Innovation and the Future of Cities

There has never been such intense debate about the transformation of cities as there is today. This 21st century is undergoing the most profound urban revolution to date, where cities are the main catalyst of economic and social development. 

Big Data-based technologies are evolving, and digital disruption will provide new opportunities at city scale to effectively address emerging challenges. In a globalized world, Digital Cities need to continually offer the easiest, most accessible places to live, learn, work, travel and play.

Through real examples of innovative development, Flavio Tejada, will explore the increasing relationship between technology, real estate investment and the making of future cities.
