The ongoing, rapid urbanization has significant effects on the future of urban development and the coexistence of people. This presents us with great challenges.
Traditional functional planning models can no longer adequately capture the complex interrelationships and different influencing factors. A new, holistic understanding of urban planning that considers the interactions of sustainable design principles and can enhance the quality of life in cities is required. This should develop visionary approaches that anticipate and address future needs and challenges. The FCL Global pursues a transdisciplinary approach that combines design, technology, science, and governance.
With its data-driven research based on evidence-based strategies and empirical findings, FCL Global provides the foundation for resilient future urban planning and design. It also encourages collaboration between different interest groups by involving political and participatory processes.
