Cities: Trends Report 2023, Quantumrun Foresight

Climate change, sustainability technologies, and urban design are transforming cities. This report section will cover the trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on regarding the evolution of city living in 2023. For instance, smart city technologies—such as energy-efficient buildings and transportation systems—are helping to reduce carbon emissions and improve quality of life. 

At the same time, the effects of a changing climate, such as increased extreme weather events and rising sea levels, are putting cities under greater pressure to adapt and become more resilient. This trend is leading to new urban planning and design solutions, such as green spaces and permeable surfaces, to help mitigate these impacts. However, social and economic inequality must be addressed as cities seek a more sustainable future.
