| Summary: | Investigates the potential of innovative multi-use infrastructures and integrated self-sustaining support systems to meet the challenges posed through climate change and overpopulation. The stimulus for the infrastructures derives from 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 develop foresight and to map possible futures |
