In a few days I will be around Barcelona, as I have already been commenting, in a coursein which much of what I hope to contribute has to to do with the role of technology in the configuration of current cities and those of the future. Above all, I am interested in addressing in the course the subject of emerging urban services, a question to which I have devoted much of my research time this year. As with the subject of the audiovisual session of the course, the method of preparation has been to rescue many notes and notes collected and put them in order a bit. And since that work is already done, it is best to share it here.

It is a list, random as always, of pieces of an unfinished puzzle of everything that is moving around the technological transformation of urban operation and services. It includes more or less contextualized news, articles that point to general transformation trends in the world in the coming decades, posts on lines of technological development applied to urban services, and also some studies that try to analyze globally the world economic weight of urban services. advanced services applied to cities. Anyway, a bit of everything, but I hope you find something useful.
During the week I will also share here the main points that I will discuss in the round table of the course, New urban paradigms: infrastructures, technology and urban habitat.

I found the photo at The Urban Times, a photo that reflects how they thought in 1925 what the urban world would be like in 1950. Today we are, if I’m not mistaken, in 2010….
