The City of Tomorrow by Carlo Ratti

An internationally renowned architect, urban planner, and scholar describes the major technological forces driving the future of cities
"This is differentAnd it is brilliant. Ratti and Claudel give us a distinctive path to think through technical futures, far removed from the typical exaggerated versions of the present. They start with a fact: we are all enmeshed in distributed sensing ecosystems, and the more complex and intractable those systems, the more technical innovations we can think up. Thus the messy city, not the perfect lab, is ground zero."—Saskia Sassen, Columbia University, author of Expulsions

"Ratti and Claudel provide remarkable insights into the city of tomorrow. A book that everyone who is interested in the future—and that is all of us—should explore."—Michael Batty, University College London

Carlo Ratti and Matthew Claudel carry out research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Senseable City Laboratory, investigating the intersection of technology and the built environment.
