Positive News #124 - Future Urban Living

Future Urban Living – The technology, communities and people making our cities happier, healthier and safer places to live

Cities are often painted as bleak, dangerous and lacking in soul. This issue argues the opposite. Around the world, new urban centres are emerging at speed, designed to be interconnected, powered by renewable energy and built with climate-ready architecture at their core. In many cities, violent crime is falling. Car-dominated sprawl is giving way to green space. Communities are finding ways not just to restore the land, but to revive the civic spirit that makes cities feel alive.
