TransUrban is an ambitious project that attempts to chart design ideas, ideals, and processes of recent and current experiments for cities of the future. TransUrban examines the idea of sustainable cities beyond the environmental and ecological aspects by documenting and analyzing emergent forms of urbanism and extracting lessons that may shape cities to come. These built experiments embody complex topics of design, dwelling, community in space, building technologies, environmental strategies, as well as models of affordability, while exploring new trajectories in the development of the city. Topographies of change re-contour the forms of urbanism as we know it, and do not conform to generic typologies, but create in concert a shift of paradigms. The patterns that emerge reveal complexity and integrated thinking across disciplines. TransUrban charts this terrain to find applicable design strategies for the future.
