"we are headed for the death of cities" {due to the continued growth of personal computing and distributed organizations advances} "cities are leftover baggage from the industrial era.“

2008…
“in 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: for the first time in history more than half its human population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas. by 2030, this is expected to swell to almost 5 billion”.
