Smart urban communities – great places to live, work, and learn

Projections say that up to seven billion people will live in urban areas by 2050. But how can we make city life livable for all city residents? How can we create places that are desirable for everyone and ensure economic success while also preserving our planet? Here's where smart urban communities – city districts, business parks, and higher education campuses – come into play.
