Liebe zum Ort

The renowned futurist Joël Luc Cachelin addresses the city as a driver of cultural, technological, economic, and socio-political change in this publication. Along the three megatrends "New City Centers," "Climate Change," and "Digital Continuations," he particularly focuses on the challenges these will face in the coming decades. These challenges range from the allure of metaverses to the climatic dangers of heat and heavy rainfall, as well as the desolation of city centers due to online shopping and low-cost offers.

In addition to theoretical discussions, numerous examples are presented that demonstrate how innovative cities are already preparing for the future. The focus is on a sustainable approach that considers future markets as well as the concern for greater sustainability and social cohesion. This mindset strengthens their resilience, enabling them to revitalize their life cycles and respond quickly to trends and crises.
