The enduring city

Sustainability is about achieving a healthy balance between people, the environment and a prosperous community, without depleting the earth. This balance poses major challenges to the political, social and spatial debate. How can we meet our current needs while ensuring that we do not limit future generations' needs and desires? This is what the pursuit of the enduring city is all about. 

Based on five chapters about the various aspects of the enduring city, the guide takes a closer look at the question: how can we as urban designers contribute to the resilient city and actually bring about change? Many insights into sustainability, urbanity and transitions from our projects over the past few years have found a place in the guide. We touch on all sorts of topics, from floating cities to building below the ground and from heat corridors to circularity in post-war districts. Happy reading!
