After decades of climate instability, rising sea levels, and ecological collapse across California, the city abandoned the old idea that humans should dominate nature through endless urban expansion.

This project plans to forecast the future of the 10,000 urban settings across the globe -- as though they have survived climate change and social discord and gone on to flourish anew. Today, we highlight the future of Krakow, Poland.
