In the Netherlands, floating cities are already being built;  Dubai’s recent skyscrapers resemble those of science-fiction cities of the  past; while makeshift settlements built by the urban poor in the developing  world are already like the dystopian cities of cyberpunk. Bringing together  architecture, fiction, film and art, Future Cities  re-connects the imaginary city with the real – proposing a future for  humanity that is already grounded in the present and in the creative  practices of many kinds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55156725154167,"sku":"9781836390244","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781836390244.jpg?v=1745593641","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.pro\/products\/9781836390244","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
