We are facing major problems such as climate change, social inequality, large-scale migration, and resource depletion.

In Urban Challenges, Resilient Solutions the 'Future Urban Regions Lectorate' offers designers, their commissioners and (local) governments new models and ideas to deal with healthy urban development.
