housing the last billion
DESCRIPTION
By 2044 we will hit peak population of 8.7B before decreasing to 8B by 2100. This decade we have seen the emergence of three distinct cities - the mega city, the shrinking city and the nomadic city. At The Next Billion conference in NYC I will present the concept of transient design and how to create nomadic cities.TRANSCRIPT
