GAME BOARDING In the last decades, GBA (Greater Bay Area) has experienced an unprecedented rise of urbanisation and growth, positioning itself as the future centre of global economy. However, this has also created several issues that the team identified: urbannatural juxtaposition, polarisation of economy and social segregation. The vision is explored from the global scale

towards the reality of planning through game boarding.

In the final version of the game, the regional strips are not spatial elements, but an abstract representation of the main

functional character for each city that also is the bridging character across cities, from east to west.

In the year 2050, we envision the AMA as an adaptive system, coping with energy vulnerabilities. This will be achieved by implementing a new framework, which is termed as “Energy Adaptive System (EASY)”. These are environments that transform wastescapes to housing and energy landscapes. They support new urban development without compromising existing landscape qualities and biodiversity. The concepts of circular economy, spatial justice and housing are taken as the three pillars of EASY, creating innovation that is constantly shared through the knowledge network.
