Abstract

Europe’s future cities are places of increasingly nomadic existence. Younger generations are likely to live in cities longer, to postpone having a family, share rental accommodation and work anywhere they can plug in their computers. In turn, they demand more and better public spaces. Foresight provides support for policy-makers to engage with citizens from various social strata in developing a future vision for the city they live in.
