Future housing - the only way is up

We all seems to agree that more housing is needed to meet current and future needs. However, we don't seem able to agree on where, or what form it should take.  My blog http://wp.me/p3ycbY-1hX

2014 - My blogging year

I am amazed at where my blogging has taken me this year.  It's been a real roller-coaster.  Here is my review of 2014.  http://wp.me/p3ycbY-19T

Future homes - what we really need?

We are happy to spend large sums of money on the latest gadgets, but are there other more important things that we need for our homes if we are to safeguard the future? http://wp.me/p3ycbY-15l

A transport vision for those megacities of the future.

 If 75% of the population are going to be living in cities by the middle of this century our transport systems have to change - don't they?  My latest blog looks at a science fiction answer to the problem  http://wp.me/p3ycbY-14j
 

Eating, drinking and bars in science fiction

This weeks blog returns to 'life in the future' and this time the far distant future.  Surely we'll take our our delight for gathering in restaurants and bars with us? http://wp.me/p3ycbY-13X
  

How far can we go in ‘greening’ our cities of the future?

In my last blog I started to speculate on what our future cities might look like.  In this blog I wonder how far we can go in greening those cities.  Perhaps that's a more palatable picture than the soulless concrete affairs often portrayed by science fiction.  http://wp.me/p3ycbY-13H

Do you want to live in the high rise cities of the future?

In my last blog I opened the topic of future cities for discussion.  I have read that by the middle of this century 75% of us will be living in those cities.  As a writer of science fiction I find this fascinating.  But, how will they and us cope?

Where is society going? What will the future look like?

In a number of prevoius blogs I've discussed where our relationships with intelligent machines may be taking us.  Now I would like to look in general at how society might develop in the future, first here on Earth and then later perhaps on other worlds.  In this first blog I start to ask why, despite modern communications, we continue to grow our cities?  Where is this going?  http://wp.me/p3ycbY-13l
