Opportunities

Renewable Energy Biomimcry Renewable Energy Nano-Technology Vertical Farming

Robotics Communication Technology Education

In this uncertain Transition phase, how can we: Keep the cost of living relatively low Deal with more variable weather Maintain recreation facilities & city vitality Deal with increasing congestion Maintain social cohesion, public safely & security Adjust to an aging population Improve education standards & reduce skills shortages Improve financial flows Guard against spread of disease pandemics/epidemics Maintaining Liveability
