What is The Future for Cities?

"For me the future is what can I change, what can I influence."

Are you interested in the future of cities as the notion of what the individual can change? What do you think about integrated approaches? How can we save character but create inclusion?

Interview with Amir Hussain, founder and CEO of Yeme Tech. We talk about his vision for the future of cities, the city as a place serving needs, the real estate bubble, integration, and many more.

As Founder CEO of Yeme Tech, Amir Hussain has developed data-led, solutions which enhance place and asset-based uplift using ESG benchmarking systems. Amir's personal experience of living within a polarised and disadvantaged community, forms a strong understanding of challenging places. Amir is a regular contributor to national and regional policy debates as well as leading objective discussions about exclusion and polarisation. As a Partner in solutions-driven Corporate Fund - ONG Capital, Amir brings a strong understanding of commercial deliverability using transformative large-scale projects particularly in Tier 2 places.
