As January rolls round, the inevitable calls for “new year, new you” flood our social media, TV and minds. But here at DG Cities we’re taking a slightly different slant on things and have been thinking about what 2021, the year after the year like no other, could mean for our urban environments.
Today therefore we’re sharing our top predictions for what we’ll see happening in 2021 and our hopes for what we’d like to see; which thankfully are often the same thing.
Well, it’s certainly been a while since I checked in. For those who didn’t read my first blog post, I joined DG Cities as a Project Officer just shy of three months ago. When I last wrote, I was excited and daunted in equal measure. From day one I found myself surrounded by an endlessly kind, sharp (though admittedly intimidating) team, and immersed in a seemingly ever-growing list of puzzling acronyms and complex technological terms. Luckily, I have since found my sea legs.
Today is my second day at DG Cities and my excitement is only gaining momentum. Two days into the role and already I envision this team of 11 growing in size, quickly becoming a sea of hundreds, all eagerly brainstorming and collaborating to reshape and improve our cities. Or perhaps these are the musings of a graduating millennial wishfully getting ahead of himself. But how could I not, when the setting is so compelling?
