That’s a very interesting question, especially because the cities have already been changing so much lately. But I assume there will be more smart features in the cities of the future. Hopefully urbanization will pause for a little while, and the smart cities will collaborate with the countryside where people will go downshifting, because that’s what we need, because we cannot survive without what the farmers have to offer. And there should be infrastructure that connects the people there. There is bound to be some educational systems that provide the cities with labor, while at the same time give the people from outside the city opportunities to live in much more beneficial living conditions. And thus that will help us all to create a better future. Well, that’s at least what I hope for. I hope to see these kind of changes in the future.

Hopefully, urbanization will pause for a little while, and smart cities will collaborate with the countryside where people will downshift, because that's what we need; we cannot survive without what farmers have to offer. There should be infrastructure that connects people there.
