Investigating the future is an established practice for the academy and the world of crafts and industry. From the Chicago Columbian Exhibition of 1893 to the two Worlds Fairs of New York City (1939 and 1965) and so on, the future has been foreseen as filled with technology and amazing architecture. However, not every vision of the future has described promising scenarios: the dystopian novel by George Orwell entitled Nineteen Eighty-Four, published in 1949, looked 35 years ahead, painting an anything but reassuring picture of the future. We have entered the third decade of the new millennium, and we must certainly reflect on the objectives we had set for 2020 and on the results we have achieved.\u00a0However, project into the future (pro-j\u00e0cere, from Latin, jump forward), explore and imagine how your life will change, boosted by human ingenuity and with the support of science, is in the human nature. The four visions of the future proposed by Norman Henchey (1978) conceptualized in classes \u2013 \u2018possible\u2019 (any future), \u2018plausible\u2019 (future that makes sense), \u2018probable\u2019 (highly likely to happen), \u2018preferable\u2019 (the best that could happen) \u2013 have been brilliantly described in the \u2018Futures Cone\u2019 reinterpreted by Joseph Voros (2003). As we move away from the present, the \u2018possible\u2019 tends to \u2018preferable\u2019 due to the lack of elements and data on which to base the programming and the planning: in fact, the certainty on the type of technologies and production methods that will be available, on the social structure and user uses, and so on decreases.
\nBy 2030, the world will already be different: Thomas L. Friedman (2016) highlights that the three main forces of our Planet \u2013 Moore\u2019s Law (technology), the Market (globalization) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss) \u2013 are all pressing at the same time, with inevitable consequences for the territory, cities, architecture, products and services that will be designed, developed and used in the future. The 17 2030 Sustainable Development Goals presented by the United Nations provide an answer for this time horizon (www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/sustainable-development-goals\/), tracing the path towards a model to achieve a better and more sustainable future for everyone.\u00a0But will these Goals be able to accelerate sustainable innovation? However, it is clear that how the future of our planet, its landscapes, cities, architecture and consumer products will mostly depend on the decisions we make today, on our level of \u2018vision\u2019 and on how we will deal with the subject of sustainability with respect to the aforementioned Goals. Going beyond 2030, imagining 2050, we will certainly have to deal with a population growth that will reach ten billion people, of which 75% will be living in cities and urban areas (United Nations, 2019); therefore, the cities of the future will become crucial metropolises for the sustainability of the whole Planet. In the meantime, the academic, crafts and industry worlds are raising a series of questions (listed in the pdf of the Call).
