Re-Imagining Cities: Urban Design After the Age of Oil
This floating Ecopolis has a double objective: to extend the sustainable territory of the most developed countries, and to house the climatic refugees of less-developed, at-risk marine territories (such as the Polynesian atolls).
Vincent Callebaut
Innovative ideas, projects, initiatives, and policies from around the globe that can help us re-think how we inhabit urban areas are on view. From car sharing to citywide environmental initiatives to futuristic floating cities, the projects displayed show a spectrum of possibilities.
