Much of which makes up our cities today stems from the industrial era. But how will cities and habitats be organized thereafter? The Ars Electronica Festival that took place from September 3 to 7, 2015, in Linz was an inquiry into how cities of the future will have to be configured when there are more robots than people working in factories, everything is intelligently interlinked, autos drive autonomously and drones deliver the mail. And what does it mean for future megacities—above all, those on seacoasts—when climate change really does shift into high gear? Rethinking urban habitats has already begun, and exciting ideas for new architecture and forms of social organization are emerging throughout the world that can keep pace with the changes taking place in upcoming decades.
