Have you ever thought about cities of the future? Clean streets, flying cars and robots doing all the work? Almost half of the world's population currently lives in cities, and by 2050 that is predicted to increase to 75%, but what kind of city will they be living in? Today, most city dwellers are dissatisfied because they have to live in overcrowded and polluted surroundings. Traffic jams are getting worse, queues longer, power cuts more common, bad air quality more threatening to human health.

There are various ideas about how a future city should look. Some of these revolve around the idea that better means greener. Experts predict carbon-neutral cities full of electric vehicles and bike-sharing schemes, with air quality so much improved that office workers can actually open their windows for the first time. Visions of a green city often include skyscrapers where living and office space comprises high-rise green houses and vegetables growing on the roofs. Behind such greenification of cities lies a very pressing need.

Technology companies such as IBM believe that the best cities will become networks. In Rio de Janeiro, for example, IBM has already built an operations centre, which it describes as the “nerve centre” of the city. Built initially to help deal with the floods that regularly threatened the city, it now co-ordinates 30 government agencies. Every individual with a mobile phone is connected to the operations centre. The operations centre sends messages to citizens' mobile phones and provides information about potential accidents, traffic jams and other city updates.

The fact that big corporations are becoming so heavily involved in designing city infrastructure has led critics to question how quickly such a city may, like the computer systems they are relying on, become obsolete. Computers and other electronic gadgets are being updated all the time, new models appear twice a year. Parallels could also be drawn with the office buildings of the sixties, which may be described as low-ceiling places now standing sad and empty as advanced technologies render them useless.

Most of the projects IBM undertakes involve data-collecting. The company works in close contact with community groups as well as city councils. There was a project the corporation completed in Iowa where households were given information about their water consumption. The data. Interestingly, those who got water when confronted with the information about their neighbours' water consumption were twice as likely to make changes.

Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody. Those building the cities of the future should pay attention to that advice.
