As the organizers state, "Dramatic change is all around us: beyond coronavirus, urban communities are struggling with economic and social inequities, environmental stress, and political polarization that all demand urgent action. It’s worth asking - how did we get here and what can we do differently over the next decade?" This year, festival designers, architects, partners and participants are exploring:

  • What can the architecture and design field be proud of from the last decade, and what opportunities did we miss?
  • Where should we invest our time now to build fulfilling lives for everyone in the future?
  • What will the next decade hold, and how should the design community respond?
