Sense and the City, a new exhibition at London Transport Museum, will explore how people in the past imagined the London of the future and how new technology will influence city living over the next ten years. While the urban landscape will look much the same in 2021 as it does today in terms of buildings, transport infrastructure and even vehicles, our ability to sense and connect to all that the city has to offer is about to be transformed by the convergence of data and communication technologies. Opening June 2011 to March 2012
Shopping, travelling, working and playing – the exhibition will explore the differences this revolution of connectivity, networking, architecture, town planning and energy will make to our lives over the next ten years. The exhibition has been developed in partnership with the Royal College of Arts and will be accompanied by a lively talks and events programme.
Sense and the city is displayed in the CBS Outdoor Gallery at London Transport Museum, Covent Garden Piazza, London, WC2E 7BB and admission is included in the entry ticket to the main Museum galleries (adult admission charged and under16s free).
