PROGRAMME DAY II
FOR A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE, LOOK TO THE FUTURE Visions of future cities are used to visualize or to concretize what cities themselves will be like. How they will be built, operated and managed and how they will relate to all actors and sectors of society( citizens, governments, businesses, investors, and others). Much of these representations of future cities are based on the real world, derived from real cities we live in and problems we encounter day in, day out. Ideas for the future of the city are born in the present; for a huge part we use contemporary cities, their patterns and structures to develop futuristic visions. How can these ideas reflect on our future cities? In what way do they allow us to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective in our vision of future cities?
