(Post-)Planetary Design

Mass Exodus and the New Megalopolis

Focusing on the impact our transition into a post-planetary society may have on our home planet, “Mass Exodus and the New Megalopolis” looks into the future of existing cities and the emergence of new metropolitan hubs and regional and global networks.

A big thanks to my partners, Mateusz Rek and Berkay Guney, for everything they did to help pull this together and to Ed Keller and everyone in the Post-Planetary Design seminar at Parsons for their feedback and inspiration all semester long.

You may also download a pdf of “Mass Exodus and the New Megalopolis” here (or a text only version here).

As always, feedback is much appreciated. (You may also email me at pickb076@newschool.edu if you wish to keep your questions or comments private)
