The space of a 15-minute city is to be segmented and decentralized to such an extent that all areas of public life, such as shopping facilities, doctors, educational institutions, public authorities, the workplace, as well as sports facilities, local recreation areas and connections to public transport can be reached within a radius of 15 minutes on foot.
Co-living refers to communal living on a temporary basis. Sharing living areas, whether it’s the communal kitchen or co-working space, unite everyday life with the pursuit of personal fulfillment and the fulfillment of social needs.

Megacities are so-called multi-million cities that are being created primarily in emerging and developing countries as a result of the immense influx of the rural population. With almost 38 million inhabitants, Tokyo is considered the largest megacity in the world (as of 2021).
In addition to the “verdörflichung” of the city, commuters and country lovers are causing an “urbanization” of the countryside.

The urbanized village thrives on rural charm and urban mindset.

The term Healing Architecture is used to summarize a current that no longer ties architecture solely to functional aspects, but instead focuses much more on the psycho-emotional qualities of material spaces.

Through the Responsive City, the human being as a social and cultural being should be moved from the center of attention back to the center of action, filling gaps and deficits in the technology-centered smart city. In the future, technology will only have a structuring, supporting and accompanying function, but the residents themselves will be responsible for the actual design.
The anonymity, hustle and bustle, and overstimulation in cities are broken up by urban oases of calm. The principle of urban farming describes the more intensive gardening use of urban space, usually in community contexts.
