As the world’s biggest cities continue to sprawl with many millions of new people, they’ll look to many of the technologies and tactics covered in today’s infographic from Raconteur to work smarter – and not harder – for their inhabitants.

That’s right – there will be swelling urban populations that consume more food, energy, and materials than most countries.
