It's 2023 in London. You can make a phone call on your watch and report a traffic jam with a button on your glasses. But how will we really live, work and play? What kinds of constraints and opportunities will future Londoners face?

This series of imaginary Londoners was produced for a workshop in September 2013 by a collaboration between Arup, Social Life, Re.Work, Commonplace, Tim Maughan and Nesta. They build on the team's knowledge, from urban neighbourhood engagement to smart technologies in the city. These profiles can never be perfect or all inclusive. They are a tool for exploring the needs and desires we should consider when designing a smarter London. More details: background information and the key urban trends we developed.   




Sessions 2 and 3 of TEDCity2.0 in New York will be streamed live at Nesta on the evening of 20 September.
