A city building game that uses microscopic models to vividly simulate the organism of a city arising from the interactions of millions of individuals. People on the move, businesses in trade, neighbourhoods changing. Each inhabitant struggling, adapting, making life choices. The city evolves, the city grows. The city is us.

Swiss vs. UK approach to major tranport projects

Start with the timetable So, let’s imagine the UK had done this in 2008. What might the planners have noticed? Well, first up, they'd have spotted that our major cities need more frequent and faster rail connections from suburbs to centres and that these are prevented at the moment by insufficient platform capacity in stations like Leeds, Manchester Piccadilly and Birmingham New Street. So we need more station capacity in our city centres. They'd have identified that many suburban lines into

If DJI is entering the 360-degree action camera market, why shouldn't Insta360 venture into drones? That was my immediate thought when the company announced its first drone, the A1, from a spin-off brand and team called Antigravity. So, what is the A1? Is it an entry-level device? A camera for creators looking to spice up their videos without years of practice? A competitive POV drone? It’s a bit of all three, but the Antigravity A1 isn’t just a drone.
