Abstract
We are going to study the fundamental cities challenges in the XXI century that can and must be faced with technology. We will begin by studying the urbanization process and the role of technology in urban transformation. We will investigate the role of the city as a catalyst for human creativity and talent. We will discover how talent is a constant associated with industrial revolutions and its contribution to the success and prosperity of the city. Each fundamental challenge will be studied on the basis of its importance and the impact that technologies may have in facing and solving them.
