The Biggest Impact on Your Life Is Biology Going Ahead

As a holiday treat, this rebroadcast episode from January 2021 features Paul Saffo, forecaster and Head of Future Studies at Stanford University. He forecasts the future of city development in light of historic patterns of change, economic shifts, and the role of real estate post pandemic. 

Paul talks from a perspective outside of the real estate industry, calling those who work and thrive in it “wickedly smart and wickedly practical.” The conversation highlights real estate as ground zero in urban development and future city growth. 

He breaks down both macro and micro level ways to look at real estate investments and capital growth. The significance of regional planners is highlighted and Paul encourages visionary approaches to merging global civilization and social cohesion. 

By focusing on themes that have stood the test of time throughout centuries of change, Paul believes that we can become good ancestors and build urban developments that will take us more successfully into the future.
