“Cities will be smart. They will be more beautiful, more
exquisitely made in parts and more assembled ad hoc in other
parts. More resourceful and more transparently knowable. Unlike
today’s “dumb cities” that sit like the dead materials that they
are, future cities will be alive in a Biomimicry sense,
evolving, learning, and growing.” Cindy Frewen Wuellner, an
architect, futurist and urban designer, starts the creation of
an alphabet of future cities, twenty-six slices that reveal,
explore, and imagine what we might build and how we might live,
work, and play in 2020, 2030, or 2050. - ABC’s of 21st century
cities - A is for Artificial Intelligence - B is for Backward
