Neuware -Traditional categories such as the 'city' or the 'metropolis' no longer capture the networked realities of contemporary urbanization. Settlement systems include not only neighborhoods and buildings, but also hinterlands, ecosystems, water and energy flows, mobility networks, as well as cycles of production and consumption. Urbanization is both spatial and temporal, shaped by rhythms of agriculture, commuting, and neighborhood lifecycles, as well as the long horizons and challenges of climate change.Engaging with this complexity requires new research methods and tools. This publication provides insight into Future Cities Laboratory (FCL)'s multifaceted research on future sustainable urban development and the actions taken to translate this knowledge into tangible results, supporting and guiding decision-makers within governmental and political entities towardssustainable urban transformation. Established in Singapore in 2010, FCL has grown into a pioneering platform for international research on urbanization. With over 150 researchers across its hubs in Singapore and Zurich, it brings together a variety of academic, professional, and cultural viewpoints to help shape the cities of tomorrow.; Traditionelle Kategorien wie «Stadt» oder «Metropole» werden der vernetzten Realität der heutigen Urbanisierung nicht mehr gerecht. Siedlungssysteme umfassen nicht nur Stadtviertel und Gebäude, sondern auch Einzugsgebiete, Ökosysteme, Wasser- und Energieflüsse, Mobilitätsnetzwerke sowie Produktions- und Konsumzyklen. Die Urbanisierung ist sowohl räumlich als auch zeitlich geprägt, beeinflusst durch die Rhythmen der Landwirtschaft, des Pendlerverkehrs und der Lebenszyklen vonStadtvierteln, sowie durch die langfristigen Auswirkungen und Herausforderungen des Klimawandels.Um dieser Komplexität gerecht zu werden, sind neue Forschungsmethoden und -instrumente erforderlich. Diese Publikation bietet Einblicke in die facettenreiche Forschung des Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) zur nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung der Zukunft. Dazu gehören auch Massnahmen, mit denen dieses Wissen in konkrete Ergebnisse umgesetzt wird, um Entscheidungsträger:innen in Regierungs- und Politikgremien auf dem Weg zu einer nachhaltigen städtischen Transformation zu unterstützen. Das 2010 in Singapur gegründete FCL hat sich zu einer wegweisenden Plattform für internationale Forschung zum Thema Urbanisierung entwickelt. Mit über 150 Forscher:innen an seinen Standorten in Singapur und Zürich vereint es eine Vielzahl von akademischen, beruflichen und kulturellen Standpunkten, um die Städte von morgen mitzugestalten. 248 pp. Englisch.…
