Abstract

Experimental research laboratories foster innovation and facilitate the transition from theoretical to applied research. The article presents results of research by Future City Lab, a Polish-Chinese experimental research laboratory. It discusses challenges which contemporary urban planning is facing in light of problems such as climate change, CO2 emissions, environmental degradation, urban sprawl as well as social and housing problems. The results of Future City Lab research on development visions for urban structures aimed at improving the quality of life in cities are presented against such a background.
