Purpose
Driven
“Cities are humanity’s greatest invention — and our greatest responsibility. If we design with life in mind, we can build a future that thrives.”— Tony Cho, CEO & Founder
Future of Cities is a next-generation regenerative real estate investment, development, and education platform transforming how we live and thrive through regenerative placemaking. Driven by a commitment to regeneration, Future of Cities convenes leaders, policymakers, technologists, and community builders to advance holistic urban innovation while co-designing the cities and communities of the future.
Real estate today is stuck in siloed, outdated models that prioritize private profits over public good. This group-think mindset fuels ecological degradation, social inequity, and fragile cities.
