In looking to launch the program and gain publicity, I was commissioned to research and write a series of in-depth blog posts illustrating the areas CityConnect was targeting and discussing human behaviours in relation to how liveable our cities are, and could become. On topics ranging from work, transport, connectivity, data, leisure and commerce, these essays were an accessible introduction to the role our cities will play in the future.
