ABSTRACT
Chapter 6, Future Geography—City Adaptations and Meta-Morphoricals, begins with Psychogeography—Wilding, which proposes a use of the dérive to rebuild connections between the city and geography through a process of rewilding, drawing from David Abram’s Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology and David Gissen’s Subnature: Architecture’s Other Environments. The following section, Hardware—The New Plough, proposes the breaking up of surfaces to allow the reintroduction of geography into the city. Software—Tempering the City introduces the idea of ‘touching geography’, the dirt and dust, fauna and flora and rewilding, and notes how human adaptation can compensate for this new association given the history of the city in expelling geography. The final section of the chapter, Reconfiguring the City—The Human in Geography, looks at new patterns of human movement over a city in geography and describes a set of generated images that illustrate what the future of the city in geography could be.
