The Startup City from Switzerland

Akon City, Oceanix, The Line, Toyota Woven City. Recently, there has been much discussion about projects—some credible, others less so—that propose the development of experimental cities where technological innovation drives urban development processes. Next Generation Village shares the same ambition but adopts a more concrete, collaborative, and multidisciplinary approach.

This vision of an urban community starts with the solutions offered by high-tech to envision new monetary systems and governance, as well as an update in the dialogue between the public and private sectors. Scientists, economists, designers, and innovators are motivated by the ambition to build a future-proof city.

The idea of Next Generation Village stems from the vision of a visionary entrepreneur: Ralph Horat will be at Utopian Hours to discuss the genesis and ambitions of this bold urban venture.
