Cities have always been humanity’s greatest engines of opportunity, invention, and community. Home to more than half of humanity today, the world’s cities will add another 2.5 billion people by 2050. Cities are critical to our past, present, and future. 

The rapid growth of cities in an ever-warming world is the biggest challenge we face. From coastal floods in New York, to red skies in San Francisco, to unbearable heat waves in Mumbai, climate change is no longer theoretical. It’s now impacting our streets and neighborhoods, the places we call home.  

As we adapt to and mitigate the consequences of this changing reality, our cities are at the forefront of the race against climate change. Approximately 75% of the urban infrastructure of 2050 is yet to be built, representing a $5 trillion market opportunity. How we design our built environment - our buildings, transportation systems, waste management processes, food chains, power grids, and public spaces - will have a profound influence on the livability of our communities.

At Streetlife Ventures, we are the ultimate optimists and are excited to work with founders and policymakers to build the future we want to live in.
