Future Cities Project

The Challenge

We were looking for technology and design solutions which focus on building our future cities, and utilising emerging technologies such as blockchain and IoT.

Over the past 20 years we have moved from a traditional model of large organisations providing services to passive consumers, to a new model of decentralised organisations meeting the needs of ‘pro-consumers’, or active consumers. 

This has resulted in an emergence of Shareable Cities: mayors, civic innovators, sustainability leaders, economists and other champions are harnessing the potential to meet the public needs, and enhance sustainable growth.

Challenge Topics:

• Inclusive - How do we empower all citizens to be active participants, regardless of location, socio-economic status or privilege?
• Accessible - How do we make sure our common resources (like energy, housing, food, green space, transport) are clean, safe, affordable and available to all?
• Sustainable - How do we improve the way our products and commodities are produced, distributed and consumed, enabling thriving and sustainable local economies?
