Thomas Frey: Great communities are founded on great ideas. At the same time, our most admired communities become a magnet, attracting the brightest minds. The relational effect is clear: Bright minds make a community great, and great communities attract bright minds. With this in mind, the city of the future will be designed around eight dimensions of human connectedness, connecting great people with great ideas.
On October 1st, Google’s top-rated Futurist Speaker, Thomas Frey, will speak at the DaVinci Institute’s monthly Night with a Futurist event at CB & Potts, 120th & Pecos, in Westminster from 6:30-9:00 pm. His topic will be the City of the Future.
This presentation isn’t designed to answer all of the intricacies of how future cities will operate. However, as Frey predicts, cities that focus on these eight dimensions will find that the resulting alignment of human capital will make community problem solving far easier.
"A connected community is a vibrant community," says Frey. "Ideas are exchanged, energies are exchanged, and people become extremely loyal to the networks that connect them to the rest of the world. While it is now easy to communicate with people all over the world, we can only physically interact with people and places locally."
Human connectedness involves much more than just communication. And its not just about business life, family life, or what we do for entertainment. It is all of that and much more.
