Future visioning of urban Landscapes - Oct 1, 2009

Context...

Considering the limitations of our precious resources and understanding that local communities are interconnected to all global communities...

We ask this question…

How can new designs, new implementations, and new uses of our urban landscapes better serve present and future generations?

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete".
Buckminster Fuller
