How Should Humanity Live for the Next 100 Years?

The Futurist Roundtable: A Global Dialogue to Design the Future of Human Living.

Initiated by Jimmy Mistry, Design Futurist, Master Planner & Creator of Future-Fit Cities, CMD, Della Townships India. In collaboration with the World Architecture Festival.

A continuing global dialogue bringing together the world’s most influential architects, design futurists, scientists, technologists, urbanists, policymakers and industry leaders to collectively reimagine how humanity should live for the next century.
