About This Column

Michelle Bell is a strategist and analyst of the invisible networks that define our future. Formerly the author of Connected Futures, Michelle has expanded her lens to investigate how the "digital backbone" - from 5G and fiber optics to AI-driven grids - is fundamentally reshaping urban life and global mobility. She specializes in deconstructing the critical, often overlooked infrastructure that enables autonomous systems and sustainable cities to function. Her column is a destination for those who want to look past the hype of the vehicle to understand the intelligent networks that actually move the world.
