Description

How will the myriad of likely social and technological changes combine to affect the cities of twenty years hence? What will the effects be of reduced energy supplies, an ageing population, decentralization, and less sexist working patterns? This collection of essays reviews urban history, current futurist thinking, demographic realities, and the effects of different future scenarios upon urban life. It concludes by considering policy options for urban administrators.
