FutureCityLab (ftr.ct.lb)
ftr.ct.lb is a collaboration of leading engineers, universities and scientists worldwide in or- der to elaborate a (positive) urban vision for the next generations.
This vision should help to establish the planning directions that we need to take today.

Olga Kovrikova: Introduction
We are not changing world development model since the first cities appeared. All our activities are releasing carbon dioxide. That’s why humanity has faced such problems as global warming, climate change, natural disasters. The future cities will become more intelligent and self-sufficient, more sustainable.The cities will be providing supply resources for themselves. The cities will accumulate most of what we can just imagine and will step to another Era where we will no longer will be just consumers.

Summer Semester 2011
Cities need to be adapted to changes in people’s lives and the planet. A person should feel comfortable in a modern city in spite of the overcrowding, “concrete jungle”. Rethinking urban development with an increase in landscaping and adaptation to population growth should solve the problems mentioned above.

Heather Kuhn : Introduction
How do we deal with the future and population densities?
How will technology shape lifestyles in 2050?
How will these advances enhance our living situations?
How will technology and population density stimulate each other?
Primary Issue for 2050: Because the projected population in cities will be upwards around 75% of the world’s population, communities as we know them are going to consolidate and condense. Our lifestyles will have to change. Because technology advances are happening exponentially faster and are designed using Mies’ “Less is More” philosophy, we could be living with one do-it-all object that takes away our need for multiple items (e.g. phones, computers, televisions); this could allow the masses to live in more modest spaces and redefine the meaning of luxury.
