Episode 34. Greg Lindsay sat down with Kent Larson, Director of City Science Initiative at the MIT Media Lab, at the Moscow Urban Forum 2019. Kent and his City Science team are working on developing lightweight autonomous micro-vehicle working prototypes that combine the best attributes of dockless bikes and autonomous ridesharing, without any of the negatives. Kent and his team use interactive tools to build consensus in communities and find bottom-up solutions to urban problems. Kent and Greg chat about the intersection between housing and transportation. Kent's upcoming masterclass, "A World Without Slums", will look into how informal transportation, micro-vehicles and drones can provide transit and delivery to slums.

El pasado mes de julio, en el Moscow Urban Forum, se habló de los desafíos de las megaciudades del futuro, y de la importancia de trabajar en el transporte sostenible, ¿Cómo serán las megaciudades del futuro?, ¿Cómo se puede promover un transporte más sostenible?, Preguntas como estas, son las que se abordaron el pasado mes de julio durante el Moscow Urban Forum, un foro internacional, que se centra en los desafíos que enfrentan las megaciudades del mundo.

A year after Parag Khanna became the most hated man in Mongolia for making a disparaging (yet accurate!) remark about their geopolitical prospects, he accepted the president of Mongolia’s invitation to visit the country. But instead of flying like a normal person, Parag drove 13,000km from London to Ulaanbaatar (as part of the Mongol Rally) in a decommissioned British Army Land Rover field ambulance, which he then donated to Mongolia’s medical services. This is what I admire most about my friend Parag: if and when he doesn’t have actual skin in the game, he has the next best thing: his feet on the ground. Parag Khanna, who turns 40 this month, is a scholar and a traveller (not always in that order) and a wise and well-informed man, characterised as a visionary by none other than THE BLACK SWAN's Nassim Taleb. In this conversation, which took place backstage at the Moscow Urban Forum a few minutes after I'd interviewed him on-stage for the Forum itself, we get into Parag’s views on: * What it means to fuse the reality between “what you read” and “what you see” * The paradox of how the future success of globalisation depends on increased tribalism (and why he supports secessionist movements) * Why it’s probably your own goddamn government’s fault if you’re unhappy that your job went overseas * How most people misuse the term globalisation in pathetically self-serving ways * Why it's sound judgment to "trust the traveller.” * Why Berlin, London, Singapore, New York are awesome * Why Dubai (Dubai??) is REALLY awesome, too Jeremy Hildreth is the idiosyncratic proprietor of the "I'm talking to who?!" conversation series. The ambition here is to start with a fascinating guest who's lived a remarkable life so far, then goad him or her into a ranging, elucidating, and revelatory conversation. http://jeremyhildreth.com | If you want to never be boring (or bored) work with me. iTunes cover art by Carmen Nistor | https://www.saatchiart.com/carmennistor Parag Khanna | http://www.paragkhanna.com/
