THE WISH
I am the crucible of the future.
I am where humanity will either flourish or fade.
I am being built and rebuilt every day.
I am inevitable. But I am not yet determined.
I wish to be inclusive, innovative, healthy, soulful, thriving. But my potential can only be reached through you.
You can forge a new urban outlook. Begin by connecting. Imagine a platform that brings you together, locally and globally. Combine the reach of the cloud with the power of the crowd. Connect leaders, experts, companies, organizations and citizens. Share your tools, data, designs, successes, and ideas. Turn them into action.
Together you can:
- Bridge the gap between poor and rich communities.
- Spectacularly reduce your carbon footprint.
- Make nature part of daily life.
- Empower entrepreneurship.
- Re-imagine education.
- Nurture health.
I am the City 2.0. Dream me. Build me. Make me real.
