This is a huge question and I don't hear a lot of people asking it. What is the future for cities? How will this change suburbs? How can we create optimal communities?
I think it goes hand-in-hand with the coming loss of the car as a personal device and its transformation into "individual transit" as opposed to "mass transit". In the future, when you can use an app to get an autonomous vehicle to take you where you want to go, communities will restructure. Parking lots and garages will go away, opening up a huge amount of real estate.
I wouldn't mind starting a sort of "virtual salon" to talk about these larger questions. It's fascinating.
