About Discussions Projects44 Journals3

Urban systems encompass the complex networks that structure cities, from food production and waste cycles to public spaces and infrastructure. Designers working in this area address how built environments can integrate natural processes, respond to local contexts, and support sustainable urban life.

The community explores modular and adaptive strategies for urban renewal, vertical farming systems, local food networks, and tactical interventions in industrial sites. Projects demonstrate how systemic thinking can reshape neighborhoods through furniture design, architectural modules, and nature-integrated planning.
