I agree: access and NOT OWNERSHIP will be embedded in the cultural mores of the future generations. Turbulent times. Mike Milley, Designer and Global Lead of Socio-Cultural Research at Samsung Electronics was asked, " What do you see as the next big trend(s) urban living and why is this important?" MM: Urbanization is a massive global trend which has 2 key impacts: - smaller living spaces. The rise of the micro apartment creates new kinds of needs for more space-efficient living: tools and objects that are portable/modular/storable; spaces that are multi-use and easy to reconfigure/repurpose. As storage space decreases, we will increasingly rely on more frequent shopping trips and instant-delivery services. - increasingly high-density living drives opportunities for sharing and collaboration as we negotiate more communal living arrangements. Access becomes more important than ownership
