    It’s amazing to think that all of the major cities started from one person saying, “hey, let’s put our business right here along this trail” or “this spot next to the river”. Then another business put there business next to it, and so on. Then another road was needed to access nearby businesses and houses. Now cities grow by one business coming in and attracting workers. Another similar business comes in and attracts even more workers. Then related industries come in and bring workers. 10, 50, 100, 1500 years later, we end up with growing diverse cities.

    A problem which I see in many German cities (it probably also exists in cities in other countries): many people want to study, work and live there, but affordable apartments are very rare. Although new apartments are built each ear they can't compensate the demand of cheap, relatively small apartments which are in a good shape.

    Moving to Manchester 41 years ago when it was literally in collapse after its grand performance in the first industrial revolution, watching the blossoming of a renewed city with a wider remit, has been a very exciting experience. One factor that will keep it growing is the wise planning of new and attractive housing accommodation centrally, on a huge scale, that should keep it more liveable than most urban areas in Britain.
    Retaining skilled, educated people by supplying a a substantial entertainment and cultural heart is being addressed at the same time since superb new facilities come on-line in short order.
    We have some capable people running things. I would suggest, however, that they may need more powers to protect some of the essential character of this fascinating city from being lost in the headlong race for renewal.

    First off, I like this channel. It's really entertaining and well-made. But the question is, who do these cities thrive for? Of course the real estate investors recommend building luxury housing and office space to attract tech workers. Seattle has let Amazon turn it into its playground, driving up rents and pushing out people who have lived here for generations. Now we have huge numbers of people forced into homelessness. You can build great cities without catering to the uber-wealthy. Build amazing social housing, trade out cars for mass transit, and build beautiful public spaces (not just corporate-owned plazas). Cities aren't very nice when the only residents are tech workers (and I'm one of them!)

The streets of Paris mentioned is an excellent example of that, as was one of your older vids about Singapore. With both, planners were/are looking ahead, on how to make the best use of spaces and places in regards to developing construction, which also helps that sector grow and adapt to the needed changes for the betterment of its citizens.

    I think although things described here are absolutely spot on, but I can see a new movement emerging. People who are tired of downtown rush, high prices, constant noiz and all the buzz in the city. There was though one short second shown, what I believe will have the biggest effect. The hyperloop or some similar fast speed transportation. I believe the painted picture in this video about the current form of the cities is about to peak. It is still early times, but people begin to value free time, silence, nature. Not to say that want to give up on city life, but not interested to live in rush, noise and smog. Kind of suburban 2.0 just in much greater distances.

It's nothing more than a giant car park and adds nothing to the city except diesel fumes. There have been several high profile news articles about the failings of this area including a nearby park being surrounded by barriers to stop people using it. The new area around Eddington displays much better urban planning and is a great example to follow.

    I don't understand all the praise for this video. This is all investors talk and propaganda. They understand money, not the past, the wonder and the future of cities. The difference? The past is, what let cities live and what killed them. The past of Detroit is lack of scrupules, like investors(!) dominating what action goes where, rather than follow the needs of the people. Cities need Wonder, like the Gaudi factor. Is there something that speaks to the imagination? Like Gaudi or the Eiffel tower? The future of cities is tied to the future of the planet as a whole. The need for self sustainable cities with lots of nature is growing, having enough green and farming in the city to feed its population. That would be real future thinking. Sadly countries run by corporations don't care about its citizens enough in case of a global economic crash, like the 2020 crash (soon near you) And we don't need cities that are like concrete deserts to nature, because it kills our planetary eco-system. But these investors just see where money rolls for them. Like the 10:44 work, live, play, learn all in one ugly corporate building is cheap work slavery in the making, sold as hip. Same trick is used in California and it sours quickly. Avoid it! It kills the looks, spirit and wonder of cities. And the last words, just mean, not an ounce of understanding of global future crisis, just investment talk. Sorry guys. Our current ideas of cities are unsustainable for the planet and not what the future needs. And my creative talent will avoid your buildings. ;)

    I wish they would have taken 10 seconds to talk about Detroit's comeback, after using it as an unfortunate example, since they have reinvented themselves as well. It has very much turned into somewhat of a tech town now with the headquarters of Quicken Loans & Stock X, as well as offices for Google, Microsoft, IBM, etc. all being located in Downtown Detroit

    Nothing is more deserving of the of praise then the vast deserts of northern and southern Africa. An environment that our ancestors had to content with. In order to survive in the desert you truly have to think, and this exposure had a tremendous impact on our specie's, all over the globe. Literally every civilization on Earth was founded after spending generations. This is why we should be humble because we didn't get here by being a "superior" species, but actually the contrary.

    The remaining question is: are these projects economically viable? They are seemingly developed on the assumption that there will be or that there already is sufficient demand for such services and housing. However, this might not really be the case in G7 nations that is. How much of this is speculation?

    Berlin is making 2 innovations and industry hubs, has 13 famous universities and spents billions for educaton and transport. Berlin has also wonderful cunture and a big social system. I think this city has a bright future. Berlin bought 3000 trains. Tesla and Siemens is going to Berlin.

    It's funny how so many people love on the mega cities yet I never really seen one or experienced one. I was in Atlanta for a convention so stayed inside it all day. And remember being in Greenville SC thinking how high the skyscrapers were when I was running through there with my team. Even though they are tiny compared to NYC etc.

    I feel like there is a bit of old world thinking entangled in this. Cities were vital hubs so we assume they must be vital in the future. But while we still are heavily dependent on physical distribution, that is changing. We no longer need a city to act as an office hub and it's been better to move distribution and manufacturing away from the city for some time. The businesses that cater to urban populations are already adapting to a customer base that is no longer coming to them while also not talking on the overhead of delivery.
    As Douglas Adams put it, "Most people would much prefer to live somewhere smaller of their own devising. And that is in fact what many eventually do." We saw a spike in urbanization as the millennial generation came of age, but that has already begun to reverse as they exercise more control over the workplace and more and more the work goes where the workers are. Where burning fossil fuels like there was no tomorrow enabled prior waves of suburbanization, WFH and other democratizing technologies are creating an opportunity to live where they like.

    i wonder how virtual realty will affect this trend as it has the ability to make people experience a space different from one another based on its augmentation, also the potential for remote work could once again change what a city needs to stay competitive as the things people will look for in where they live will change
