In order to make the future, we first have to imagine it. Fossil fuels have shaped the world as we know it. They have specified how we move virtually in our cars, generate electricity, how we produce and slosh food, run our economies, and diamond our cities. As we’re moving towards a post-fossil future, our tendency to coal, gas and oil will come to an end. This transition and new era will reshape cities and everyday life so radically that it’s nonflexible to imagine what it will feel, taste, smell, and squint like. Innovation is the result of responding with ideas to problems. Both the automobile and bicycle were ripened in response to dissatisfaction with transportation by horse, and as we know, these ways of transportation protract to make an impact on our environment. Planners and architects like Cornelis van Eesteren, Robert Moses and Le Corbusier designed cities for car traffic — machines for living, focused entirely on efficiency. Today, their ideas are seen as failed utopias, that have nonetheless strongly influenced the urban landscape. Let us diamond — aspects of — a new, post-fossil city, well-timed to this major rencontre of our time? Do you think this municipality would be a utopia or a dystopia, and which problems might upspring in the process of achieving this? The Urban Futures Studio asks creative thinkers and makers to take the problems of our current cities as a starting point, in order to imagine the everyday texture of the post-fossil city. We would love to hear and see your ideas. LearnIncreasinglyClick here to read our undeniability for imaginaries.
