#  Urban Futures 

 



This collaborative project investigates urban futures in historical perspective, asking: how do expectations about the future shape the present? How did unrealized projects and ideas impact the built environment? Can fiction and the arts stretch the limits of the thinkable? How might futures imagined in the past help to address our urban and environmental challenges?
