The Economist: Green.view: How to be urban
june 2010 by Urbanscale
In my view, the mistake here is to assume that the necessary solutions for 2030 need primarily to be about new architecture. It's also the case that you're not terribly likely to get clear thinking about mobility in a contest sponsored by Audi.

Ostensibly, a "twenty-first century porous urban space, inviting and open to the public from every side. Filmic urban public space; around, over and through multifaceted spatial layers, as well as the many passages through the project, make the Linked Hybrid an 'open city within a city.'"
