Activate the Future



"They round up a variety of scientists, engineers, pioneers and entrepreneurs to foretell what we can expect in the nearing decades. It's interesting stuff. The first of four parts, entitled "The New City", explores the possibilities in designing tomorrow's cities. As people migrate to cities, many of them grow into "super cities" boasting more than 50 million residents. Every year, more people move out of "the country" and into urban areas with a more centralized design.

In the last hundred years, more and more people have moved to cities. In 1900, city populations represented only 14% of the total population. Now, it is 50%, and the next two decades will see that number climb to 60%, if current trends continue. Interestingly enough, they predict mass transit will dominate our commutes out of sheer necessity, and our vehicles will be regulated to doing what they do best - entertain us. After all, no one likes sitting in commuter traffic for two hours, but we all fancy a thrilling drive now and again.

We haven't made it through every one of the four episodes, but we must admit we are hooked. BMW didn't regulate this series to an amateur attempt and grainy YouTube film, it is well-thought, slick, colorful, high budget production worthy of at a little bit of your time.
