Great point Alexander Israel: Looking for parking and transacting in a check out process is a huge waste of time, not to mention pollution. If 15% of our urban landscape is comprised of parking, we have a huge opportunity to improve the experience with smart technology. I like the idea of a future with fewer cars on the road and more public space for humans. I'm rooting for Metropolis.io. #urbanplanning #futureofcities
What makes a great city? Earlier this week I had the privilege of discussing this very question at the Milken Institute Global Conference on a panel that focused on how technology powers urban innovation. Alongside Jeff Blau from Related Companies, Ross Perot Jr from Hillwood, Diane J. Hoskins, FAIA, NCARB from Gensler, and Carlos Moreno, author of “The 15-Minute City,” we dug into the future of mobility and technology’s role in improving how we live within urban centers. I was reminded of Amara’s Law – how people tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run. We’re at that inflection point in building AI for the real world and I’m proud of the work that Metropolis Technologies is doing to make it a reality. Metropolis is central in the interplay of evolving cities and in returning our most valuable and irreplaceable asset: time. Together, we can deploy new technology and reshape our built environments to make the way we work, play, and live remarkable. A special thanks to Brian Sullivan from CNBC for moderating this important conversation. Watch and learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g2sGcgNn #MIGlobal #Future #Mobility #Innovation #Tech
Absolutely, Alexander. It is fascinating to think about how integrating smart technology could reshape our cities. Solutions that reduce time and pollution can greatly enhance urban living. What are some practical steps municipalities can take to start this transformation? Your insights are appreciated.
