How do art, design, architecture, and other modes of creation interplay with urban environments on the grand stage formed by cities and society? What roles do they play, and how do they shape urban lifestyles? When we visualize cities of the near future from the perspectives of the environment, energy, telecommunications, transport, and other modalities, we see that these urban infrastructures and structures will rapidly change, not only in their physical aspects, but also in their intangible features, becoming flexible and networked. In this context, what are the possibilities that can be opened up by creative thinking, and how will such thinking contribute to the development of that potential? We will examine this question in light of several case studies from Asia.
