This edition of the 7th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam explores the role of spatial design in the city of tomorrow, offering perspectives on the city that we desire: one that puts a premium on the public domain, is socially inclusive, runs on clean energy, and where the economy adds local value, guided by a social agenda. This catalogue contains descriptions of every project in the exhibition, plus an introduction to the programme. Also included are a number of essays contributed by Keller Easterling, Edgar Pieterse, Mark Swilling, and Maarten Hajer. A special second section analyses and evaluates the distinctive research by design methodology that the IABR has developed.
