Aus dem Klappentext
Cities have long believed in abundance: more materials to use, more resources to consume, more land to develop--more of everything, available as needed. Abundance is an outdated belief, no longer sustainable nor realistic.
The new urban reality is one of limited resources. Whether spatial, financial, or material, the assets available to cities are finite.
A sustainable future requires a new spirit of resourcefulness to shift attitudes from using more to doing more with the resources at hand. For while the content of cities may be finite, the context of how we use that content will transform cities from limited palettes of resources into platforms of possibility.
Reprogramming the City reveals new contexts of use for existing urban content.
