Urban Visions - Step by step toward a new city
The age of urbanization has begun. Over half the world’s population lives in cities, and these function like complex organisms – supporting their residents, providing them with livelihoods, mobility and spaces of personal freedom. Unfortunately, cities are not always fit for living in: assistance is urgently needed in cities with unreliable water and energy supplies, and where constant traffic chaos and thick smog make residents’ lives difficult. But where to start? What conditions make it possible for thousands or millions of people to live together in the first place – and what must tomorrow’s cities offer their residents in light of constantly rising populations?
