Abstract

This chapter offers a hypothetical glimpse into the future of urban living in 2030, specifically the rising prominence of contemporary shared living practices as a response to the growing socio-economic challenges and the desire to foster a sense of community within cities. The discourse revolves around the concept of multigenerational living, exploring its potential social and psychological benefits, as well as the concerns related to architectural design, privacy, and the ethical implications associated with emerging technologies. By engaging in grounded speculation, this chapter highlights the importance of adapting to change and accommodating for diversity to help create resilient urban communities in the future.
