What is The Future for Cities?

"Optimism is acting without a proper full understanding of how things work."

Are you interested in cyclical economies? What do you think about plastic as a material? How can we move from the linear to the performance-based economy?

Interview with Harry Robertson, a proactive designer and founder of two businesses. We talk about his vision for the future of cities, circularity, plastic as a material, optimism, measures for circularity, and many more.

Harry Robertson is a proactive designer and founder of two businesses. He has an innate ability to find creative solutions to complex problems and communicate these concepts to a wide audience. Visualisation and communication are the most important part of sharing a vision as an innovator. Researching and understanding how products, systems and processes can influence the environment makes him innately aware of every opportunity. He has designed a large variety of products and has made an impact on a number of industries winning awards for his designs. From a young age Harry has always produced products or solutions to improve his world and that for those around him. Harry investigates contemporary, cultural and environmental aspects of design and technology and values his ability to be a member or leader in any team. Harry does not design to be satisfied as he believes that every solution is just a solution for now.
