A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
As the global population is expected to nearly double over the next 30 years—from 6 billion to almost 12 billion people—every nation faces massive infrastructure challenges. Confronting that future, the presenters at a recent conference on ‘intelligent’ infrastructure held in New York City at Pace University and sponsored by the magazine the Economist tackled such issues of modern urban life as the financing of high-speed rail and the challenges of creating a ‘smart’ electric grid. In looking to the future, the speakers also considered the benefits offered by electric cars capable of driving themselves and by buildings that can change their shape to take fuller advantage of solar power or natural ventilation.
