“The future of the world lies in its urban environments. More than half the world’s population live in cities and
that number is growing. This rapid influx of people creates possibility but it also creates challenges. How can
the cities of today grow and thrive to become the places we want to live in tomorrow?”

can’t carry it? If you can’t carry you can’t drink. You die. You can even become stronger jus t by c arrying it

sparkling water that make you sweat.”

Blade Runner: She’s a replicant. Doesn’t she?

Eldon Tyrrell: I’m impressed. How many questions does it usually take to spot?
BR: 20, 30 cross-referenced.
ET: It took more than a hundred for Rachel, didn’t it?
BR: She doesn’t know.
ET: She’s beginning to suspect, I think.
BR: Suspect? How can it not know what it is?
ET: Commerce is our goal here in Tyrrell. “More human than human” is our motto. Rachel is and experiment.
Nothing more. We began to recognise in them strange obsessions… after all they are emotionally
inexperienced, with only a few years in which to store up the experiences that you and I take for grant ed. If
we gift them with a past, we create a cushion pillow for their emotions and consequently we can control them
better…
BR: Memories. You’re talking about memories.

Sue Black’s inspirational story

When I was 25 I was a single mum with three small children, living on a Council state in Brixton. I dec ided
that something had to change. But what I didn’t realise is that by changing my life, y also cha nged the
lives of many other women all around the world.

I woke up one morning in 1987 with my husband screaming that he was going to kill us all. He t hreat ened
me before, but I somehow hadn’t taken it seriously. But as soon as he threatened my children, I just thought
“I’m out of here”. So, I got a suitcase, packed up our stuff. I put the twins in the double buggy, got my
three-year-old daughter and we ran down the road.

I phoned up women’s aid, and a few hours later I was in a refuge on the other side of London. I thought, “So,
what am I gonna do now?”

My favourite subject at school was maths. So I enrolled for a maths course at Southwark College. A nd the
first day that I went in, I was so scared. I walked into the classroom and it was full of mainly men in s uits.
And so basically I was petrified. But I saw a woman sitting at the back of the classroom, went and sat next
to her, be became best friends, and in fact we came top of the class at the end of the year. I did a degree in
Computing, then went on to do a PhD, and eventually I got an OBE which was amazing.
I was really shy growing up, and I realised that if I wanted to be successful, I was gonna have to change from
being a shy 25-year-old who was even scared to even talk to people I didn’t know, to someone who was
much more confident.
I’ve got a ritual that I do every time that I’m public speaking. And what I do is… I go into the toilets, and I will
say things like positive things to myself. So I’ll go “I’m and amazing person, I can do anything I want
to do”. Or stand in more of a superhero pose. Just going away and doing that means that I go onto the
stage feeling very positive and kind of radiating energy.

Last year I was speaking to 17,000 women in tech at a conference in Orlando in Florida, and at the end of
my talk I got everyone, so 17,000 women –to say along with me: I’m gonna change the world. And y ou
know what, we can.

Always ask for promotion. If you think you can go for promotion, go for it. Everytime I could apply for
promotion I did. In several years I got promoted probably four or five times. And that has actually just
massively changed my life and enabled me to affect lots of other people’s lives in a positive way too.
I was in a classroom talking to maybe about 15 mums, and as I was talking, I started realising ‘Oh my
goodness, I’m getting a hot flush, feeling a bit hot”. I couldn’t concentrate so I thought … w ell so I ’ m j ust
going to tell everyone what’s happening and actually that seemed to help us really bond wi th e ach
other.

The more that we… kind of… make ourselves vulnerable, talk about things that maybe we wouldn’t
normally expect to talk about, but just everyday stuff, helps everyone to realise that we are all human and
we all go through this.
I’ve over the years changed myself by pushing myself forward. Going for things that scare me half to deat h.
The main message I would have to anybody is: just get out there and do the things you want t o do. Y ou’ve
only got one life. Just go for it.”
