Cities
Are you living in a city that’s fit for the future? Depending on the index you choose, different cities top the tables: Oslo (UN City Prosperity Index), Vienna (EIU Liveable Cities Index), London (Arcadis Sustainable Cities Index). But the more interesting question is: what is future-fitness? The answer is part-science, part-preference. My 5-S future-fitness framework proposes five criteria: secure, shared, sustainable, smart and satisfying. Using these categories, I ask my MBA students to create their own future-fit cities index with 10 indicators, using real data. What would make your top 10? This reveals your personal quality of life priorities.
