Why do we all want to live in the city? What do we pay and what do we get from living in the city? Companies already know, that in a convenient city they can pay less to employees, because they do not want to leave, they feel comfortable. What is the future of the city and are there connections now with the prior experience of the city life? Will we want to live in the city 2.0 in future?
