Architecture+DesignSummary: Gone are the days we faced monstrous ocean waves, devastating desert winds, and chilling hailstorms. Today revolutionary advancements in our technology has created safe, affordable, and convenient modes of transportation. Globalization is intertwined with this movement of goods and people. Think about the impact of connecting 4 continents in the Belt and Road Initiative. What will it mean when most of the world’s population is encompassed by fast and efficient transportation? A brave new world is emerging and we’re shaping the best potential we foresee.
People are the drivers and cities are centers, but embedded in the Transportation network is the thrust of this wave. The transformative potential linking people’s lives and experiences is phenomenal. We are experiencing massive compression in our perception of time, distance, and effort as transportation speed increases and costs drop. Past generations shared their own wow moments watching the first moon landing, taking their first flight, boarding their first train, ascending the gangplank to their first ship as our histories have unfolded. Now, with a Mars landing achieved, Hyper-loop travel testing, and other initiatives the +7B passengers on earth are watching new voyagers emerge across the horizon. But, it’s not all steel and glass, we see the human element.
