Description:	There are four parts to this book. The first, Points of Departure, presents the study parameters in four chapters. This part contains an introductory discussion about the sustainable city and a description of the backcasting approach used. Further we report on the household perspective that permeates the study and serves as the basis for the proposed operational definition of a sustainable city. The final chapter introduces the generating principles for the six images of the future developed in later sections. The second part is titled Building Blocks and examines the current situation, the dominating development tendencies and the change potential of – the urban structure, meaning the physical space; – the activity patterns and time use of the households, meaning time; and – the efficiency of various ways to use energy, meaning the technology. The part forms the documentation for the six images of the future that have been developed in several stages using scenario exercises comprising varied participant groupings. The different chapters are intended to shed light on the development direction, while attempting to identify possibilities for implementing a sustainable development
