CityLab with Sponsored Content by MasterCard has an interesting article “A New Approach to Solving Cities’ Systemic Problems” and an invitation to get involved through a program called “City Possible.” Very Interesting read as well as  the information provided by Parag Khanna, a Global Strategist and also the person at the center of the movement. The movement is all about People First, and how we can solve our problems through further connectivity. In this case it’s about using digital technology across and within regions governed by partnerships in equal collaboration, with cities. Yes, there’s an open invitation for organizations to become members, or partner, and a push for inclusivity- so all voices can be heard. The basis for the movement can be found in the article, “By The People and By The Numbers“, written by Mr. Khanna.

Then there’s this. Very interesting discussions about connectivity, mapping, global landscapes, and geographical boundaries, along with past, present and future problems, and solutions, in Mr. Khanna’s TED talks: Mapping the Future of Countries TedGlobal2009 and How Megacities are Changing the Map of the World 2016 ending on a very hopeful note.
