New solutions to the way in which the resources within the city can
be best used. Resources are the stuff of which the future is made.
The city itself is a resource, as it opens up a wide range of
possibilities for every individual and for society as a whole. The
city is not an inexhaustible resource, however. Only if it is used
in a sustainable way and if it does not solely serve short-term,
isolated interests, can it also fulfill the needs of future
generations. The biggest challenge for contemporary urban design
is, therefore, to plan the city itself as a regenerative cycle, not
only in terms of shaping its spatial and aesthetic qualities, but
also in relation to its development over time. Using articles,
student projects, and examples, this book presents methods and
strategies for designing the city as a resource; it thus lends a
new meaning to the idea of sustainable building.
