What will the cities of the future be like?Will environmental, energy, social climate transform into something very different from what we're experiencing today?While I'm sure this is an oft-debated topic among some in our industry (design & construction), it's not one I'd spent a great deal of time pondering. Most of us are normally concerned with keeping what we've got and building what we need next with some well-researched, but, quasi-vague concepts of the future of a small area.The other day, I was cruising around LinkedIn (a professional...

So, I am going back and republishing each post to enable...
