Sustainable food production, alternative sources of energy, the need for social cohesion in a healthy environment – these are a few of the essential issues of our time that rub shoulders in environmental planning and architectural design. That forms a tremendous potential for social renewal.

In this book twenty-five Dutch design practices with outspoken opinions present their views on an agenda for the future of the world we live in. The result is a sample of the creative capacity of designers and a call to design a better world.
