Over time, cities in regions all around the world have experienced significant changes for various reasons. These include; redesigning city layouts, replacing old buildings by new ones, creating investment opportunities, and using technologies for improved operation efficiency and management. However, the urban environments that did not prosper failed to focus on the public realm and creating opportunities for economic impact.
In this lecture, MIT’s Kamal Youcef-Toumi, will provide a historical perspective on cities and their development and will focus on factors for economic impact. You will also learn more about the progress and limitations in technologies, and their implementation to help facilitate the operation and management of cities and nations – with examples in the areas of transportation, water, energy, and health.
