The International Geodesign Collaborative (IGC), together with LISD GmbH and Geodesignhub Pvt. Ltd. in partnership and sponsored by Esri Inc has launched the Global Climate Geodesign Challenge (GC2).

The GC2 aims to help global and local decision-makers make strategic climate-based decisions which create enormous long-term benefits for local communities and the world at large. The challenge will undertake climate-responsive spatial designs accommodating many participants, using negotiated collaborations for improved planning and decision-making.


The IGC https://www.igc-geodesign.org/ is inviting local teams – university educators and students, professionals, and non-governmental organisations – to submit their proposals.

Intelligent Environments: Advanced Systems for a Healthy Planet, is the second volume of books edited by Peter Droege across the genre of digital innovation within cities, buildings and communities. This latest volume asks: how does civilization approach thinking systems, intelligent spatial models, design methods, and support structures designed for sustainability, in ways that could counteract challenges to terrestrial habitability?


This book examines a range of baseline and benchmark practices but also unusual and even sublime endeavors across regions, currencies, infrastructure, architecture, transactive electricity, geodesign, net-positive planning, remote work, integrated transport, and artificial intelligence in understanding the most immediate spatial setting: the human body.

Urban and Regional Agriculture: Building Resilient Food Systems explores the sustainable integration of food provision, distribution and consumption through urban farms, agricultural systems, user communities and structural facilities designed to optimize food production and consumption. The book addresses the fundamental and pressing challenges of urban planning problems, waste minimization, food sourcing, access and equity issues, and multiple land use optimization. Sections cover the need and opportunities of urban agriculture, discuss tradition and transition, space and regulatory topics, explore the range of urban agriculture options (aquaculture to urban permaculture), discuss support structures and constructs of physically creating urban agricultural areas, and much more.

24 February 2022

Peter Droege was panelist at Geneva Debate 2022, an online event which explored the question of ‘How to Draw an Ecological Line: Roadmaps for Ecological Urban Realms’.

With the Ecological Transition as the only vital project with regard to the multiple facets of the climate emergency (biodiversity, food, migration, construction, consumption) it is time for the project professions to revisit their fundamentals in order to judge their relevance, to reconstruct the narrative of their own legitimacy, their methodological framework and their anticipated objectives.
The Braillard Architects Foundation asked experts at its Transition Workshop about the conditions for this necessary disciplinary renewal.
