Dutch New Worlds: Scenarios in Physical Planning and Design in the Netherlands, 1970-2000

Rotterdam: 010 Publishers Rotterdam.  Mehr
Dutch New Worlds tells for the first time the story of how scenario thinking changed urbanism and physical planning, from its beginning in the late 1960s to its height in the 1990s. It shows how most grand scenario projects came to nothing because of overambition and misuse. It also shows how, today, scenarios remain powerful tools for focused and transparent design research to create better cities and regions.
