BMW Video on future transportation in cities.
This video is kind of a promo-video for urbanization, being constantly surrounded by people...the ironic thing is that all of the solutions involve being alone.
Lonely cities.
Loneliness: "People can experience loneliness for many reasons and many life events are associated with it. The lack of friendship relations during childhood and adolescence, or the physical absence of meaningful people around a person are causes for loneliness, depression, and involuntary celibacy. At the same time, loneliness may be a symptom of another social or psychological problem, such as chronic depression."
It seems that a lot of innovation comes from cities and urban environments because they have complex PROBLEMS that do not exist in more suburban/rural environments or are at least less complicated and perhaps less urgent.
P.S. - If you're only travelling a few blocks, you really need to walk...it's better for you.
