Under conditions of heightened uncertainty, cities face enormous challenges in responding to contemporary crises. The contributors to this volume explore the conflictual dynamics that arise when urban futures are imagined, negotiated, and materialized. Through the lens of urban future-making, they provide a timely analysis of the conflicts that shape planning projects, architectural interventions, and new experiments in the built environment. Their analyses show how urban future-making is conditioned by conflicting governance arrangements, actor constellations, and power dynamics – offering rich insight into the critical role of professionals as key agents of urban transformation.

In an era of rapid change and growing uncertainty, we are facing an urgent question: How can cities be built for futures that defy prediction? The contributors to this volume tackle this challenge by exploring the role of contingency in urban future-making. Through a range of case studies, they examine relevant aims, strategies, and decision-making processes in both past and present contexts. They reveal how unexpected events and unpredictable factors unsettle established urban conditions but also spark new ideas and possibilities for rethinking and reshaping the city. The volume shows how urban future-making involves navigating highly uncertain environments and extreme conditions to open up new spaces of knowledge and action.
