Do you believe that physicists have a role to play in these Grand
Challenges? Mike Batty recent papers, for example, are mainly collaborations
on projects with physicists and this is bringing a lot of credibility to the
work that we do in physics.
What do you think? Is physics still about Newton and Galileo? Are physicists
the "new" urban planners?
Comments and questions are welcome as usual.
