Majority of humans live in urban areas, and billions more will in the coming decades. The only way to prepare for this massive shift is to create new cities and innovate existing ones.
They are hosting an event to champion ideas of treating cities just like startups. A panel of fantastic speakers will discuss the topic from each of their unique
perspectives. The speakers will include entrepreneurs, economists, and urbanists.
After the panel, they invite their audience to a networking session to chat about entrepreneurship, urbanism, and decentralization. They hope to demystify the concepts of starting new types of societies, and are inspired by the parallel ideas emanating from Y Combinator's New Cities Project, NYU's Marron Institute, and Google’s Sidewalk Labs.
