44
Showcasing developments that will change the way we live in the future, Expo’s specially curated ‘Cities of the Future’ visitor journey plots a tour through Country Pavilions that illustrate how advanced materials, smart technology and big data are making citizens safer, healthier, happier and more productive. By 2050, the world’s population is expected to reach 9.8 billion, with 6.7 billion living in urban areas, meaning that the cities of tomorrow cannot be accidental in their design. Sustainable cities of the future will be one of the topics explored during Expo’s Urban and Rural Development Week, which runs from 31 October to 6 November and probes how we must transform the way we move, build, consume and live in the habitats of the future. Expo visitors have the opportunity to see some of the latest innovations via the ‘Cities of the Future’ visitor journey. From buildings that incorporate natural elements to spaces that can quickly transform to meet changing housing or business needs, these Country Pavilions demonstrate how we can thrive in the face of challenges and change. www.theciin.com
