This one day event, from RE.WORK and Nesta, addressed these questions via a series of workshops, each adopting a different practical approach. The event focused on a 10 year horizon, with an emphasis on the future of London.

On the day, we asked speakers and delegates what they believe the biggest challenges are for our urban environments, where the solutions will come from and what role technology will play in solving those problems.

More than half the world's population now live in cities. How will smart technology modify urban infrastructure? How will urban citizenship change in a decade's time?
