From acclaimed journalist Gabriella Bennett comes an awe-inspiring, timely exploration of how we will live in the future, featuring global insights from Tokyo to Helsinki, Vienna to Scotland.

A moveable city in the Arctic Circle. Tower blocks tackling loneliness in Tokyo, Helsinki's sprawling underground metropolis and Ukraine's bomb-resistant bedrooms. These places, and many more, are among the strange and dazzling solutions responding to our uncertain world.

Gabriella Bennett takes readers on a globe-trotting journey to learn how we are reimagining home to embrace the challenges of contemporary living. From political instability to wildfires, flooding and an increased pressure on materials and space, the built environment is under threat like never before. It must change - and it is.
