Our Situation

By 2030, 60% of the world’s population will live in cities.

Tech for tech’s sake plus exponential growth curves leave human(e)ness out.

While cities and technology have brought immeasurable benefits - they have also impaired our cognition, wellbeing and relationships. These trends are here to stay - so it's time to ask new questions.

Our Opportunity

Environments that enable billions of people to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives, where advances in technology, health and positive psychology are integrated in new ways.

Cities can experiment with new interventions, aggregate large volumes of data, and deploy new technologies at scale.

Cities with flourishing neighborhoods where innovative projects and activities would create high-powered economic, creative and aspirational zones.

Our New Questions

1. What would it take for a Smart City to become a Wise City? And how would one define and measure wisdom?

2. What is the mesh between wellbeing, technology and cities that would enable city-scale human flourishing?

3. How can technology in the built environment help build human resilience, strong neighborhoods, and lasting community?

4. How can embracing tranquillity and generative design in spaces and places fundamentally change the way we behave and interact with cities?

Our Intention

- Partnering with innovators and entrepreneurs

- Hosting unique gatherings to cross-pollinate and connect

- Investing in innovative ideas, research, and start-ups
