WHERE DO WE FIND
THE SPACE ?
Looking to the 21st century:
60% of the cities still need to be built!Today’s cities only provide 40% of the space that will be required and the largest share of
these cities is located right near the coast
• Fossil fuels → Renewables
• Fishing → Farming
• Flooding → Floating
• Competing → Co-existing
• Exploiting → Co-creating
• Polluting → Regenerating
• Working → Living
