Paperback. 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 and 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, in addition to 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 towards sustainable 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. AUTHORS: Sacha Menz is Professor for Architecture and Building Process at ETH Zurich and a practicing architect. He is the founder of sam architects in Zurich. At ETH, he served as dean of the Department of Architecture and co-founded and led the Institute of Technology in Architecture for over ten years, where he designed and coordinated the Arch_Tec_Lab building, the institute's new home. Since 2012 Sacha Menz is actively involved in the Future Cities Laboratory research programme and since 2020 he has been shaping and leading the Future Cities Laboratory Global as Executive Director. Michele Ruegg Hormes is an architect. She holds a master's degree from ETH Zurich and a postgraduate degree in architectural theory and history from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. She was Head of Communications at the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich. Since 2018, she has been involved in local politics, promoting sustainable urban development.
