We need a vision of how beautiful a sustainable society can be – and that's exactly what you will find in this book! Maja Göpel

We would like to invite you on a journey through time into the future. Not into a dark future of an uninhabitable planet plagued by floods, resource wars, and barren land, but into a world as it can be when we take care of it. A world that is green, vibrant, and progressive.

Daily news of war and climate catastrophe make the future seem like a place without hope. What we need is a different perspective on tomorrow – one that inspires and gives courage. This richly illustrated book showcases intricately simulated panoramas of how 16 cities in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria could look in the future: green meeting places where energy generation, transportation, and food create a circular economy. Additionally, an entertaining report narrates how global climate goals were achieved by 2045 and what a good life in the future can look like. An inspiring journey into the near future, with much to discover.
