Description
TEDxGöteborg Salon - Tech: Focus on Innovative Cities
Our cities are growing in both size and number all over the world, and so are the technological ideas for improving our daily lives when roads and spaces are being shared to a greater extent than before. How can innovation help us to create smarter cities for the future so that for example transportation, logistics, housing, and common areas can be used more efficiently? The technology offers futuristic and impressive solutions on how to improve this in real practice – that by extension can facilitate sustainable development, increase the quality of life for people, and create a time-saving and dynamic use for everyone in our great, growing cities.
We would like you to join us for our upcoming TEDxGöteborg Salon event on May 30, on the topic “Tech – Focus on Innovative/Future Cities”. There will be two streamed TED Talks and a panel discussion and we encourage you in the audience to participate. At the event you will get to meet and discuss with people who also share an interest in this topic, where the exchange of ideas is central and sharing is inspiring.

Lukas Memborn
Lukas Memborn is an architect and environmental strategist who currently works for Fastighetskontoret and Stadsbyggnadskontoret in Gothenburg. His mission is to investigate the possibilities for additions in the already dense urban environment, but also to carry out an inventory of older city plans from when Gothenburg was founded – to see if some of them may still be effective and relevant for the future. Lukas, educated both at KTH and Chalmers, began to wonder how cities work in certain ways while he was living in London, and how it was reasoned when they were initially built. He found his passion in city planning, and now, he is part of creating the future of Gothenburg.
