Norbert Streitz on The City Of The Future

A series of colorful images flashed across the screen at the start of Dr. Dr. Norbert Streitz’s lecture to a mixed audience of designers, scientists, engineers and business people in the Namahn design studio.

In this 18th Namahn lecture, Dr. Dr. Norbert Streitz, scientific director of the Smart Future Initiative (SFI), argued that keeping the 'human in the loop' is essential to ensure that the future design of all information, interaction and experiences is people-centered, and this includes the cities in which we live.

While already 50% of the world population is living in urban areas, it is predicted that this will rise to 70% by 2050. What will these cities look and feel like? How will they function and be managed? What role will computers and humans play in this urban age? And most importantly, what kind of a city do we actually want to live in?

You can find an account of the event on the lecture page.

An audio interview with Norbert Streitz on "Cities Of The Future" is available in the Namahn Interviews podcast section.
