How would our cities look like in 10, 20 or even 50 years from now? Will we be closer to a futuristic looking utopian paradise or a smog filled industrial dystopia?

We have invited 3 esteemed expert speakers to give us a glimpse of the future; from the emerging technologies that at first glance look like a sci-fi story coming to life, to the unique development perspective that breath insight into the human challenges faced in the world of evolving technologies.
