Greg Lindsay, Senior Fellow at New Cities Foundation and Contributing Writer at Fast Company NYC talks about what we can do to improve our urban design. “Cities are not machines but they are not living creatures either. They are social reactors – they fuse together social networks, create network organisms.” Greg devotes part of his lecture to big companies such as Google or Facebook. These companies need spaces with urban energies where people connect more, share themselves, their pasions, projects, expertise and talents. Big companies also want to maximize serendipity in order to explore the unknown knowns; things we don’t know we know. Let’s look at ways we can leverage the city to make connections – professionally, personally and creatively.
