  4. Urban Mutations

Explore the changing face of cities. What is your city like? What kind of cities do we want?

Cities are growing at a meteoric rate in our increasingly globalised world. Examine urban changes from a functional, technological, and sociological angle. What is the state of knowledge and representation of cities today? What are some examples of current or planned innovations and initiatives in response to issues facing urban ecosystems? Through this exhibition, visitors are encouraged to reflect on the approach to cities at the beginning of the 21st century.
