Synopsis
Seventy percent of the world population will be living in cities by 2050, according to the United Nations. These cities have and will continue to change over time. For example, they are no longer developed solely around natural resources such as rivers or mines, but are now also sustained by the creation and cultivation of knowledge generated by universities, research centers, companies, and government institutions. Rethinking Cities investigates how these organizations can best work together to ensure that knowledge – our modern-day natural resource – helps to make cities inclusive, innovative, healthy, and prosperous.
