Bitcoin, Brexit, electricity rates, COVID and climate change: can we handle it all?
Now that the COVID-19 pandemic is starting to ease up, old and new challenges are rearing their heads in the political and economic agenda.

The cities of the future
If the UN is correct, in 2050, city dwellers will account for 70% of the world population. As such, the secret to success in creating a sustainable world mainly lies in the large urban centres. We need to rethink cities and promote grass-roots level change, bringing together urban planning tools and architectural improvements. We discussed all of this with 20 ”la Caixa” Foundation fellows working in the sector and reflected on the “Cities of the Future”.
