Technology as an enabler of a new ecosystem responsive urbanism. Interview with Carlo Ratti (CRA Studio)

In recent decades, the growing awareness of the exhaustibility of our planet’s resourceshas placed sustainability at the centre of current global policies that, to cope with thecomplex international situation, have set goals for sustainable development, promotingactions that provide ecological, digital and social innovation. The increasing contami-nation of digital technology in the urban context has led to reflections on urban refor-mulation processes and innovative actions promoting the global transition process.The new urban and territorial approach is moving towards a new paradigm of integra-tion between artificial and natural, technology and sustainability, digital and ecology.Testimony to this transition is the transdisciplinary approach in the design and experi-mentation of the international practice of Carlo Ratti Associati (CRA).
