The cities of the future are likely to have a psychogeographical feel to them, as are the buildings that are in them. Transportation systems that take them around the city will be just as important as where they decide to walk; it is certain they will be very different to the cities we live in today.
This also applies to the way we will work in Smart Cities, that is if we work in them at all. Working smart has always been more productive way than working hard and while this is true now to those who have used the internet to their advantage, the lines between work and leisure will become even more blurred than they are today.

- Psychogeography: “The way people feel when they’re in or close to a building is crucial to what they do when they’re around that space…a ‘whole toy box full of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities... just about anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts them into a new awareness of the urban landscape’ [Wikipedia].”
- “Presently people commute at the busiest times of the day, at the most expensive times of the day and in conditions that really are cattle class.”
- “An essential attribute of Smart Cities is ‘multi-modal mobility’ - this means parking, buses, trams, the underground, trains, car sharing and vehicle hire all being integrated in the same system.”
- “the ‘office’, the workplace that will be revolutionised by the internet of things and machine-to-machine communication.”
- “Self-aware technology and networks will become increasingly prevalent as the cost of sensor technology reaches a nadir.”
