Description
Climate change poses significant challenges to our way of life. Rising sea levels and changing precipitation patterns threaten coastal areas worldwide. In response, cities are being designed and planned for climate resilience. However, this approach often focuses solely on single-use adaptations. Inhabitable Infrastructures explores the potential of large-scale infrastructure systems that address fundamental needs like food, water, and shelter. By combining current scientific knowledge with scenarios from science fiction and futurology, this book aims to develop foresight and map possible futures for urban transformation. By examining the intersection of climate change, design, and planning, Inhabitable Infrastructures offers a new perspective on how cities can be transformed in response to environmental challenges.
