A Preview of our Green Utopian Futures project
Welcome to a visionary "futures project" that forecasts the diverse destinies of thousands of cities and towns worldwide -- as if they've transformed to survive the threat of nuclear war and the climate crisis to become super-ecofriendly. The cities are presented in the form of "scenario art" and take into account the specific socio-environmental challenges and unique cultures of each city.
There is a bunch of previews and reviews of the Ecotopia 2121 project available from various News outlets. For English previews / reviews click a media logo below. For previews / reviews in other languages, scroll down further to the bottom of this page.
Also, the World Economic Forum has produced a short video about some of these ecofriendly scenarios:
Two dozen graphic scenarios taken from the project were also displayed as part of the 2024 European Capital of Culture celebrations in Tartu, Estonia at the University of Tartu Art Museum (please see link on the banner below).
As well, 100 graphic case studies from the Ecotopia 2121 project were on show at special exhibition titled "Ways to Utopia" at the Bauhaus Museum, which ran from April 2023 to January 2024 (click the Bauhaus logo below).
In addition, the Museum of London displayed the "London 2121" scenario as part of the London Visions exhibition - that ran from January 19th, 2018 to April 15th, 2018 (please click the museum logo below to see an overview of the exhibition). The "London 2121" scenario was also part of the 2021 London Design Biennale.
