Abstract

It goes without saying that cities of tomorrow face numerous challenges that will change their appearance drastically. We only now begin to notice a gradual change towards climate-adaptive cities, inner-city renewable energy production, and more healthy urban environments by re-naturing our public realm and buildings as well as accommodating societal initiatives within urban neighbourhoods. Such sustainability transitions within the built environment unfold in front of our eyes and are as appealing as urgently needed to make our cities liveable and thrive. Nonetheless, the physical transformations that come with such changes are also driven by economic factors and conditioned by financial aspects less visible and tangible. Yet, unquestionably, they help drive and support such sustainability transitions and built environment transformations. So how can we conceive of the economic factors shaping the city of the future?
