Designing a futuristic city is a fraught task — a mixture of ambition, state of the art technology, inevitable budget blowouts and the need to not just inspire, but awe. We get an update on the progress of two mega metropolises — Xiongan in China and Neom in Saudi Arabia. Also, how a better understanding of the brain can help deter future conflicts.
Guests
Dr Andrew Stokols — Assistant Professor of Urban Studies, Singapore Management University
Eliot Brown — London-based reporter, Wall Street Journal
Dr Nicholas Wright — Neuroscientist, University College London and Georgetown University
