Cities of the Future 2010
Population growth, social inequity, economic turmoil, climate change, water shortages and environmental degradation are placing unprecedented stress on infrastructure and ecosystems while at the same time technological advances, volunteerism and citizens of sustainability offer promise for the future. 'Cities of the Future' will connect energy-efficient engineered infrastructure with green, water-centric landscapes to protect and conserve water resources, reduce energy intensity and associated carbon footprints, and improve economic vitality and quality of life. This paradigm shift, for newly created eco-cities and existing urban communities alike, necessitates innovative ways of conceptualizing urban infrastructure that move away from traditional practices of centralized, linear, once-through water and energy flow towards decentralized facilities and closed water and energy systems.
