Cities of tomorrow, contemporary urban theory and research
More and more theories are piling up in order to explain the current phenomena in the contemporary urban environments. Through the innovations offered by high standard technology scientists, designers, planners are still trying to understand and predict in order to manipulate the landscape. If a better livity is the ultimate goal, defining “better” now days seems difficult.
Defining in general is difficult since we are experiencing a constant flow. The rhythm of change though is far from our capacity to follow. But then again in might seemed like that every time humanity was overwhelmed, before the outbreak of a revolution (the IT revolution as said).
Yet in order for a revolution to happen, major qualitative transformations should be already going on in the core of the social conscience, the mentality, the perception, system of values, body. Through locating and understanding the changes and the driving force behind them, our ability to explore the future will be enhanced.
