Abstract
It is the confluence of three human agency trends - planetary urbanism, resource scarcity and climate change - that will have a profound impact on the manner in which we occupy and relate to the planet and each other. This confluence is unparalleled in world history. We are entering unknown territory with little knowledge as to how these three trends will interact in complex, unpredictable and unprecedented ways. However, we do know that this confluence is upon us and it will continue to create a NEW DESIGN CONDITION to which we as a planetary community need to respond.
