Towards Territorial Transition presents new spatial strategies,<br />
concepts, and approaches for shaping large-scale and transnational<br />
developments in architecture and urban design towards<br />
decarbonization and ecological transition. The contributions<br />
investigate interactions between ecological and resource-related<br />
systems and landscapes. They explore potential solutions<br />
to address and deal with the dramatic threats posed by climate<br />
change, and with the social crisis that may emerge from them.<br />
The book introduces six basic terms of territorial transition—<br />
Territory, Scale, Transition, Resource, Platform, and Uncertainty—and<br />
visualizes them with spatial strategies elaborated at<br />
the École nationale supérieure d’architecture Versailles and at<br />
Graz University of Technology. Moreover, it presents a selection<br />
of transnational projects of territorial transition, such as Luxembourg<br />
in Transition (Luxembourg / France), Grand Genève (Switzerland<br />
/ France) and Top Noordrand (Belgium / Netherlands).<br />
Coping with climate change and its<br />
sweeping effects requires large-scale<br />
decarbonization and poses major<br />
challenges for urban and infra -<br />
structure design<br />
