Конкурс собирает идеи о том, как могли бы выглядеть города, жители которых не работают – все производство автоматизировано, а производимые материальные блага равномерно распределяются между горожанами. Разумно полагать, что в этом случае изменится и городская среда. Свое видение города, в котором больше нет места работе, могут предложить участники.

Work has not only dominated our political imaginaries, but also the very landscapes in which we live our lives. Recently, with innovations in artificial intelligence, low-cost networked sensors, and robotics, combined with prolonged economic stagnation for large swaths of the population, there has been increasing interest in policies such as universal basic income as a means of ensuring the economic welfare of all people. These proposals also have a radical utopian dimension that begs the question of what society could be like if all production was automated, the material abundance produced was equitably distributed, and nobody worked at all. Yet, as this possibility is contemplated by more and more people, there has been no significant discussion of the way that our built environments would have to change to accommodate it.
How would a city without work look like?
We're launching an open call for artists, titled
The Post-Work City, to refine our visions for the future of the city and our understanding of how it can evolve, in a world where work becomes obsolete.
