What will we work on during this session?
Modern cities became the dominating habitat for people during the industrial age. That happened when a large concentration of labor was required to run factories and there were technological difficulties to spread quality infrastructure outside big cities.
In the new technological era automated plants do not require a high concentration of workers. Modern technologies make it possible to provide a comfortable environment and access to culture anywhere in the world.
We invite you to explore a vision of the future, where people live in small cities, some even form ecovillages or create temporary flash-towns and long-term residencies. During our summer school we will meet people who already live in such places and create some technological prototypes that may be implemented in those settlements.
