We are living in an era of mass urbanization, when more people live in cities and cell phones outnumber landlines. In his new book, urban planning expert Anthony M. Townsend explores the people and historical forces that have changed the design of cities and information technologies, and how they are related. This hour, we'll talk about how technology follows human settlement and what it means for the future.

Guests:

Anthony M. Townsend, research director at the Institute for the Future, author of Smart Cities: Big Data, Civic Hackers, and the Quest for a New Utopia
