The Future Street Project at Circular Quay, Sydney- a woman walks alongside a light rail instillations, on 12 October 2017. The year is 2037. There's a network of sensors, cameras, and devices embedded within our streets; collecting data from our interactions with public-space. There are no cars on the road, just automated ones, and it's a world where people are prioritised alongside bikes and public transport. There's lots of greenery, our streets are filled with biodiversity and you can hear nature as you catch up with people in the city.
