The Way We’ll Live Next 

Offices are empty. Downtowns are dead. The suburbs are the Millennials’ future. At least two of these truisms are wrong, but why? Employees are grudgingly returning to the office, but work-from-anywhere is here to stay. That doesn’t mean the end of the work week, but new ways and patterns of living and working together closer to home, with more flexibility to match. While pandemic-era e-commerce may have plateaued and suburban stores are booming, behind the scenes, inflation and technology are quietly turning retail, groceries, and dining inside-out through data, delivery, and automation.  

What new customer experiences, brands, and business models are emerging? And above all looms, the uncertainties of climate change and the opportunities of AI and spatial computing to transform the Internet — and the world — as we know it. Drawing on research and foresight work for Cornell Tech, Climate Alpha, and MIT’s Future Urban Collectives Lab, Greg Lindsay explores the implications of our never-normal landscape and explains why the future will be less remote and more human than you might think. 

SPEAKER

Greg Lindsay

Expert on Cities, Mobility, Travel, Trade & the Future of Work 

Greg Lindsay is a futurist, urbanist, and author. He is the director of applied research at NewCities, where he explores the post-pandemic future of talent migration, mobility, technology, and real estate. He is also a non-resident senior fellow of the Atlantic Council’s Foresight, Strategy, and Risks Initiative — which scans for emerging global threats — and a senior fellow of MIT’s Future Urban Collectives Lab, which envisions new ways of living and working together.  

Greg is also a partner at FutureMap, a geo-strategic advisory firm based in Singapore, and has advised Intel, Samsung, Starbucks, IKEA, Audi, Chrysler, Hyundai, Tishman Speyer, British Land, André Balazs Properties, Aldar, Emaar, and Expo 2020, among many other organizations. He was the inaugural urbanist-in-residence at URBAN-X — BMW MINI’s urban tech accelerator.  

Finally, he is a two-time Jeopardy! champion — and the only human to go undefeated against IBM’s Watson.
