The Future Cities Project
The Future Cities Project has been set up to critically explore issues around the city. From the urban renaissance to the urban village; from sustainable development to under-development; from density to sprawl; from greenfield to green politics, the Future Cities Project seeks to explore why the terms of the debate - especially around cities - have become so fraught.
They recognise that all questions around “the city” seem to be more intractable and less clear cut than they once were. But does that mean that city questions have become more complex, or have they become less confident to answer them? Architecture has become more about process, than product - evidenced by the fact that they have interminable quangos and debates about the housing shortage and yet, year on year, fewer and fewer homes are built.
