Inhabitable Infrastructures: Science fiction or urban future?

The polemic visions illustrate the reciprocal benefits of simultaneously addressing climate change threats and reshaping cities through postulated scenarios and processes gleaned from science fiction and futurology as well as the current body of scientific knowledge regarding changing environmental impacts on cities. Science fiction is interdisciplinary by nature, aggregates the past and present, and evaluates both lay opinions and professional strategies in an attempt to map possible futures. With over 120 drawings, the nine speculations of urban futures aspire to transform socio-economic relations, reassure community security, and ultimately promote a new paradigm for urban living.
