Transforming cities with technology

Thanks to The Economist for informative and educational journalism. You certainly know how to tell a story that makes the subject of smart cities interesting. Quality production values too.

First shift to work from home on a massive scale, It will kill traffic, save money, increase efficiency, and solve a ton of problems

[@SuperBeals]

Seriously, I have a Mom, Dad, Step Dad and Step Mom all quite advanced in their respective job fields. 3 of them work from home 90% of the year, are much healthier for it and honestly seem to more done since they can work while muting themselves during unproductive but non-crucial meetings. It's absolutely asinine for most white-collar workers to have to drive to a cubicle every day.

[@amitkrishnani3160]

Panana Beals true, in this age of technology and connectivity, it's almost criminal to be physically present for work except in certain fields or situations

[@dracorubrum892]

I have been to Korea. It was a pleasure seeing all of this during my vacations. It would be nice if the technology was implemented in other countries but, unfortunately some of the other countries won’t fully implement this because they have other things tp deal with. I live in the US and I’m only a teenage it would be great if this was to happen in the near future as population increases in large cities.

[@aenorist2431]

You assume Work would be a thing for a significant part of the population. That assumption is not gonna hold much longer, i expect to see 75% unemployment in my lifetime.

I wish I could reach to the makers of the video and tell them how lovely their work is! Astonishingly, it attracted only 152k views over more than a year. A movie-trailer would register more views in an hour. The world is full of spectators and void of thinkers. Such factual-films deserve much wider viewership.

[@thedominomaster101]

Its not about technology. Its about design. A well designed city will work excellently with little technology, technology can often make up for a poor design but it can never replace it as a priority.

[@mrknowmyself]

tfw no u good point. people nowadays forget priorities.

Technology and design go hand-in-hand, just look at the success of Apple or Tesla as examples!

I seriously ponder sometimes what sophisticated cities like Seoul, San Francisco, and Stockholm will be like by 2050. Perhaps not much will change in 33 years, but I think I'm probably wrong

[@brotherswinningbecauselove7857]

The first change needs to be information. Too much old information is driving many people's minds and ideas while hucksters use that false data to push a bad viewpoint on a research-challenged populace.

[@natenate88]

San Francisco is not sophisticated is the slightest. Its a crackhead mecca. Literally a huge toilet.

[@shake6321]

cities will probably collapse as we enter an age of decentralization.

[@cos3]

@@natenate88 Perhaps not the well-off areas? I'm sure the areas that are known as "the heart of silicon valley" will be the ones to see the most change

Technology could help. But do not forget that cities are, first of all, made of people. They are the ones who will make the change.

Smart city is a strategic process that includes 6 characteristics of the city (People, Environment, Governance, Life, Economy and Mobility) Technology is the enabler of solutions that encourage efficiency and saving on resources while improving the services to the citizens and the quality of their lives.

Looks nice in a video, but reality is not like this. Seoul has huge traffic jams, especially during rush hour in Gangnam district. They should have filmed that. But metro works perfectly, as well as buses and kakao taxi (Korean version of whats' up + uber)

[@SeoWoojin55]

well, Seoul has a larger population density than most Western cities, so this is actually amazing. Compared to Asian cities of a near similar population density like Manila, Bangkok, or Mumbai, traffic jams in Seoul are is very manageable for its size.

It is amazing that Seoul, Busan, and other SK cities were completely full of slums and shacks 70 years ago. Nowadays they are ones of the frontrunners of smart cities globally. Thanks to Park Chung Hee & Kim Dae Jung for making SK now

[@zeitgeist5134]

I hope that I live long enough to see how self-driving cars improve cities. Imagine a city where, within the city limits, almost all transportation is done by little, plastic or aluminum self-driving electric pod-cars. If you need to go someplace, you summon a Pod (two people summoning two Pods). This would eliminate the need for parking structures and parking places. The city would densify, which is environmentally more efficient. There would not even be a need for bus lanes! Little pod-cars would coexist nicely with bicyclists and pedestrians (better than buses!). If someone needed to go somewhere outside of the city, they would take a Pod to the city limits, and rent a car. This should be instituted in Manhattan immediately.

[@glennalexon1530]

Cities don't "consume 3/4 of the worlds energy" or emit "around fifty percent of ghg emissions." It's an obvious and foolish error to attribute energy use to a place. That would be like saying "countries use 100% of the world's energy", or "buildings use 100% of the world's air conditioning". Stories are more compelling when there's a 'bad guy', but using statistics to paint a place, or a type of place, as the agent of a particular problem makes The Economist look like it doesn't understand basic accounting.
