I thought I share this article by Prof Sylvie Albert and myself on innovation playing an important role in making cities more liveable and sustainable.
Since the responsibility for achieving inclusive growth is shared between individuals, employers and policymakers, cities need to engage these stakeholders into the discussion. Local resources and new innovation can together create local wealth and improve life and the sustainability of cities. Technology can shift patterns of behaviour and provide equity in services. It is disruptive thinking that develops new solutions.
Advancements in artificial intelligence, automation and digital platforms are rewriting our entire economy. These technologies have the potential to positively affect wealth disparity and quality of life.
However, without proper care, they also have the potential to produce the opposite effect, including the monopolization of our economy and placing jobs at risk.
