What’s this frog thing about?
Imagine the frog’s life cycle: It begins with a silent transformation—starting as tiny eggs in water, which hatch into swimming tadpoles. Over time, they lose their tails, sprout legs, and develop the ability to navigate both land and water. By the end of this transformation, the adult frog has reached its full form. With its strong hind legs, it leaps out of the pond, feeling the ground beneath its feet—ready for the world with its flies, ecosystems and adventures.
Amid the digital transformation, just a few years ago we were still in the murky frogspawn, unsure of what might emerge from it. From that uncertain mass has sprung something entirely new: a city where a digital layer runs parallel to the physical one, full of opportunities. We want to understand what’s happening before we end up like frogs in a pot, and leap forward in a smoothly functioning and safe city, while also protecting its delicate ecosystems and our shared planet.
