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 ?
