Living Stations for Hybrid Urban Configurations

Abstract

More than ever before, cities today are the frontrunners in social, economic, cultural innovations. They attract new inhabitants for they produce opportunities
for many. Especially large cities are in the focus of complex migration fluxes from (peripheral) national and international regions, 1 fostering diversity and cultural multiplicity and raising relevant management issues: social cohesion, spatial and environmental qualities, variable time-space geographies, sustainable economies
and ecologies. In the near future, these dynamics will increase the pressure on cities and territories. What new urban configurations emerge from these processes?
