Future Cites

From chaotic to strategic in connected systems

Urban citizens in Vietnam and many countries around the world may never forget the home time social distancing due to the pandemic over past two years. However, a long stay at home may help us to think deeper to cope with uncertain future.

Future cities are becoming less predictable than ever. The exponential paces of changes due to natural and man-made crises as well as progresses in human knowledge, technology, and breaking through innovations make our future more uncertain. We could hardly imagine how we survive without internet and mobile phones, both just appeared three decades ago. Few could believe traffic jams in Ho Chi Minh City disappeared this summer 2021; and no one likes to see our children having no access to playgrounds due to either prolonged pandemic or the intrusion of car parks after decades of car booming.
