Utopian imagination is used here as a means to encourage out-of-the-box imaginations, which suggest unorthodox alternatives. However, the exercises are driven through the understanding the city as a network of systems and social/political processes, which exist in interdependent relationship. This grounds the imaginations in a basic understanding of urban systems. Utopia is understood as emergent from the problematisation of current systems and/or processes, and as a tool for re-imagining alternative ways of thinking.
