Responsive cities, distributed infrastructural networks, participatory informal settlements, adaptable habitat units, smart mobility systems, fab labs, new building metabolisms, productive territories and sustainable infrastructures, are some of the key concepts of My Very Own City.
From utopias to subtle interventions, these projects become a collective reflexion on future and present cities.
