Songdo Two Decades on: The Cautionary Tale in Smart City Design
Cities take up 3% of the Earth’s surface, yet hold more than half the global population. That share is only growing, with urban centres absorbing an ever-larger proportion of people. This influx of billions of people is leading to more traffic, greater demand for energy, water and housing, as well as a sharp rise in waste.

Part Two: The Science of the Soul, the Afterlife & the Rise of the New Human
The Science of the Soul, the Afterlife & the Rise of the New Human In Part One, we embarked on a journey of awe and inspiration as we witnessed how science is gradually bridging the gap between spirituality and material reality. We marveled at discoveries such as the Higgs boson, often referred to as the "God particle", which unlocks a universe balanced on a razor's edge of mathematical precision. This universe, so finely tuned that life could not exist if even a single constant were slightly altered, is a testament to the coexisting, inspiring nature of our existence. We also explored how quantum mechanics suggests that consciousness plays a fundamental role in shaping reality, and how controlled studies on prayer, meditation, and healing demonstrate measurable benefits that challenge materialist explanations. Most importantly, we came to understand that science is not disproving God; instead, it is beginning to decode the divine matrix that underlies everything, leaving us in a state of awe and wonder.
