Studies show that more and more people are moving to cities. The world’s urban population now stands at 3.7 billion people, and this number is expected to double by 2050. So, if most people are living in cities, how will we all squeeze in? How will we all get around? Traffic congestion in cities is already a problem, but it will only get worse if city planners and agencies don’t do something to fix it soon. Luckily, we’re seeing some new thinking on how to get from Point A to Point B which will transform the future of transportation as we know it.
