What is The Future for Cities?

"The biggest strength for cities is the ability to create the future you want."

Are you interested in space robots? What do you think about the next exploratory frontiers? How can we use knowledge for improving our futures?

Interview with Tenzin Crouch, roboticist, entrepreneur and explorer. We talk about his vision for the future of cities, space exploration, robots versus AI, diversity of culture, and many more.
