This month Berlin will play host to the inaugural Cognitive Cities Conference, an event which brings with it a panel of bright minds and perspectives. These digital and cultural leaders, including the Editor at Wired UK, Nokia's Head of Data Strategy and a Science Advisor from the World Trade Institute, will lead an in-depth exchange about the current state of global affairs. CoCities concentrates on how our cities and our lives can become smarter, more liveable and more enjoyable through the use of effective technology. As our cities continue to expand at such a rapid rate it is now more important than ever that we rethink all the elements that are involved in daily life around the urbanised world, including infrastructure, environmental issues and urban planning.
