Future Cities
Reaktion Books (Verlag)
978-1-83639-024-4 (ISBN)
Exploring a breathtaking range of imagined cities – submerged, floating, flying, vertical, underground, ruined and salvaged – this book teases out the links between speculation and reality, arguing that there is no clear separation between the two. In the Netherlands, floating cities are already being built; Dubai’s recent skyscrapers resemble those of science-fiction cities of the past; while makeshift settlements built by the urban poor in the developing world are already like the dystopian cities of cyberpunk. Bringing together architecture, fiction, film and art, Future Cities re-connects the imaginary city with the real – proposing a future for humanity that is already grounded in the present and in the creative practices of many kinds.
Paul Dobraszczyk is an architectural writer and a lecturer at the Bartlett School of Architecture, London. His books include Future Cities (2019) and Animal Architecture (2023), both published by Reaktion Books, as well as Architecture and Anarchism (2021).
