W3 Sustainable Futures

This week our group formed and we were asked to consider sustainability in an alternative manner considering rather how real issues impact our lives. Focusing on issues such as social, cultural, technological, economic, financial and bushiness sustainability in addition to the current topic of environmental sustainability.
We mainly considered future practices and strategies that were not necessarily architectural but influenced our characters way of living.

We determined that our future scenario will be influences by a number of significant crisis,  ones that humanity will need to evolve and adapt to. 

For example we discussed how trends towards on-line shopping might leave retail space void or even that perhaps due to economic crisis retail space becomes less important and thus void, this could significantly shift focus to public spaces as the focus of the city.  So how might the city change to accommodate this shift in society?
