Intelligent CitiesImagine a city of the future. Do you see clean streets. flying cars and robots doing all the work? Or perhaps your vision is more dystopian with a Big Brother-style authoritarian regime, dark alleys full of crime, and people forced to live in hermetically sealed pods. Almost half of the world's population currently lives in cities, and by 2050 that is projected to increase to 75%, but what kind of city will they be living in?
