the success of the city.

Architecture will not be

the only spectacle.

And how you intersect architecture

with mobility

with creating a humane environment

through design

is going to be the critical challenge.

I'm assuming that the broad outlines

of Kyoto will be achieved by 2050.

What that means for

how everything is organized,

from how you get about,

what you consume,

how things are packaged, everything.

It will be completely different

in just forty years time.

That's the one side.

On the other side,

in Asia and Africa you're going

to have complete new cities

that capitalize on all the new thinking

about how we can reorganize cities.

That will function completely different

to everything we think

and know about cities.

So that prospect of dramatic,

disruptive change

within one generation.

I mean, to be able to get that,

like we're in the middle, on the cusp

of this unbelievably dramatic set of

forces coming together.

Fundamentally as a species

we need things that can

power our imaginations,

that can get our passions going,

that can give us sort of

a sense of meaning.

And that is not a brick,

it is not a pipe, it is an idea.

That's what drives cities forward.
