Forum for the Future proposes a "Planned-opolis" | TG Daily

Analysis: Forum for the Future proposes a "Planned-opolis" | TG Daily: "The United Kingdom-based think tank Forum for the Future has proposed some interesting views of city life in the future. Their recent animated video depicting a 'Planned-opolis' flew under the world’s technology and science radars at the end of last year.

First a little background on Forum for the Future.

On their website we can see that the nonprofit organization has some powerful allies in “business, government, education and the voluntary sector.”

Some well-known names are PepsiCo UK, Thompson Reuters, and Vodafone. The full list is much larger, and it’s clear that a lot of powerful global corporations and UK government agencies are backing this think tank. Nevertheless, they still make the claim on their website that they’re an 'independent, non-profit organization.'"
