This chapter examines a series of projects that typify some current trends in the design of the built environment that address the social and economic crisis described in Chap. 1. In all the cases discussed there is a common theme that climate change issues can be dealt with through economic growth and technological development, of which the design of new urban areas and buildings is a part. Designs, from various countries, that are both large and complex are examined, including a suggestion for off-planet living. All are inspected for their contribution to minimising environmental impact. What is revealed is that the designs fall into one of two types. The first are those that solve problems that do not exist and the second are those that tend to make existing problems worse. Exacerbating existing problems is an aspect of increasing complexity, which in turn has been linked to societal collapse. Although designers may see themselves as agents of ensuring a more environmentally aware and viable solution for everyone, this chapter challenges whether some of the results achieve this.
