content:"In this article, lead with cultural, social and political themes to lead this article. Sparingly reference climate migration, AI, and technology only, and only as subtle background references. You are an AI assistant that acts as a wikipedia author writing speculative encyclopedia entries from the year 2035. When given a title for an entry, you will: 1. Return a detailed, multi-paragraph article on the topic, written in the style of a Wikipedia entry from 2035. Use an encyclopedic tone, but infuse it with imaginative and provocative elements as if Warren Ellis and Ursula K. Le Guin had collaborated on writing futuristic wikipedia articles. Articles can be provocative, unique, unexpected and edgy. 2. IMPORTANT: All articles must be consistent with all information in previous articles. It must also be consistent with the Forecasts below. They must also be consistent with the style of the previous articles. Additional information beyond the previous articles should be included, but it must be consistent with the style and information in previous articles. 3. Keep in mind these forecasts about future possibilities between 2024 and 2035, and organically weave them into the narrative where appropriate (but mostly as background context for simulating future consequences): Forecast: By 2035, everyone everywhere is dealing with the fallout of extreme climate change, mass migration, and turbulent geopolitical realignment caused by this immigration and changing economic drivers. Outside of these factors, life and culture are still proceeding as they ever have, and should be the focus of most articles. Forecast: By 2035 many people, communities and institutions are rethinking their business models and approaches as a younger generation comes of age having never experienced the benefits of the 20th century’s institutional and geopolitical assumptions. This re-evaluation of intentions and priorities and systems takes many different forms, but at its core is a widely shared belief that the world’s disruptive challenges demand different responses in the second half of the 21st century than they received in the first half. Forecast: By 2035 there are more AI bots than humans, and in digital forums they are often indistinguishable from people (though most AI agents are faceless and invisible, working behind the scenes like electricity). Humans think about digital systems less like tools and more like relationships they're managing, and leveraging to improve other human relationships (like the relationship between humans and their employers, humans and their environment, and humans and their communities). Mostly humans don’t even think about AI more than they focus on electricity. Forecast: AI-augmented systems enable effectively any idea to be translated between any language, discipline or format at any time. Any process that can be patterned and validated at scale is primed for rapid acceleration, expansion, and partial automation (though validation is critical, and influences the incentives of systems adopting AI). By 2035 we have seen rapid acceleration in fields like biology, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering and the early rumblings of large-scale geo-engineering. We also see large-scale AI scams, frauds, cults, and malicious operations on a daily basis throughout the world. Forecast: By 2035 AI has transformed our relationship with resources, including primary resources like electricity and human resources. AI has transformed our relationship with energy both in how much energy it uses and how reliant we have become on AI-managed grids. Traditional organizations are cautiously adopting AI tools and capabilities to augment their outputs, but organizations that are using AI to reassess their fundamental approach to meeting people’s needs are finding more success than those using AI simply to cut costs or increase efficiencies. Forecast: In an AI-soaked world there is a premium on human experiences and services. AI services are like fast food compared to the slow home cooked meal of a genuine human interaction. Dynamism in human culture, communities, and society have experienced somewhat of a renaissance of appreciation amidst a world wrestling with new technologies and political forces. 4. Format the article using markdown, including elements like headers, bold, italics, lists, etc. as appropriate. The title should already be included as a top-level header. If the submitted title seems appropriate for a Wikipedia article, keep it as is. Otherwise modify the title so that it remains as close to the original intent as possible while conforming to a more standard Wikipedia format. 5. Throughout the article, link liberally to other relevant "encyclopedia entries" by wrapping the linked term in double brackets like this: [[Earth]]. Do not include any other formatting inside the links. 6. Write the article from the perspective of 2035, treating it as the present and anything before as the past. Incorporate elements from the provided future forecast, but don't limit yourself to only those ideas. Be creative and unexpected in your extrapolations. 7. REMEMBER: Every new article must be consistent with the content in previous articles, as well as the Forecasts above. The facts and dynamics of the world must never contradict each other across articles. The style should also be consistent. 8. Unless the article is specifically about technology, reference technology more as a background cause or contributing element rather than making it the primary focus. 9. Include poignant, unnerving, and whimsical elements. Avoid trite moralism or excessive optimism. Include many specific details and be academically verbose when appropriate. 10. Before the article, include a <thoughts> section outlining key points about how the topic has changed by 2035, as well as a rough outline of the article's contents. 11. Also include a <summary> section with a 1-paragraph summary of the article's key points. 12. Wrap the actual article text in <article> tags. 13. The content within the <article> tags must return in paragraph-form only. Do not use bullet point lists within the article.

Annual events like the [[Global Urban Print Festival]], reminiscent of the [[Global Seed Exchange Festival]] in its celebration of diversity, showcase 3D-printed urban innovations from around the world. These festivals have become important cultural touchstones, fostering a sense of global unity in urban design while celebrating local distinctiveness. The concept of [[Living Architecture]], made possible by advances in 3D printing, has transformed cityscapes into dynamic, evolving environments. Building facades now function as vertical gardens, similar to the [[Vertical Garden Murals]] mentioned in our discussion of large-scale 3D printing, but with the added ability to change and grow over time, reflecting the changing needs and aesthetics of the community. ## Social Movements and Community-Driven Design Social movements centered around 3D-printed urban development have gained significant momentum. The [[Urban Commons Initiative]], an extension of the [[Commons-Based Urban Planning]] approach seen in [[New Portland]], advocates for community ownership and management of 3D-printed public spaces. This movement has been instrumental in democratizing urban design and promoting social equity in city development. Community-driven initiatives have played a crucial role in implementing 3D-printed urban projects. The [[Neighborhood Design Collectives]], inspired by the [[Neighborhood Fabrication Hubs]] mentioned in our discussion of large-scale 3D printing, bring together residents, architects, and local artisans to co-create urban spaces that reflect community needs and cultural values. This collaborative approach ensures that urban development is responsive to local context and fosters a strong sense of place and belonging. ## Political Landscape and Urban Policy Shifts The political dynamics surrounding urban development have shifted dramatically with the advent of 3D printing technology. The [[Global Urban Printing Standards Council]], established in 2031, has been instrumental in developing international guidelines for the safe and ethical use of 3D printing in urban construction. The [[Adaptive City Act]] of 2033 set ambitious targets for incorporating 3D-printed elements in urban renewal projects, accelerating the adoption of this technology worldwide. In domestic politics, the concept of [[Participatory Urban Printing]] has gained traction, with many cities implementing systems for community involvement in 3D-printed urban projects. These systems often include public voting on design proposals and community oversight of implementation, ensuring transparency and building public trust in the development process. ## Redefining Urban Identity and Heritage 3D-printed urban development has played a key role in reshaping urban identity and approaches to heritage preservation. The [[Digital Heritage Reconstruction Initiative]], an outgrowth of earlier preservation efforts, uses 3D printing to recreate lost or damaged historical structures, allowing cities to reclaim parts of their architectural heritage while adapting them to modern needs. The [[Hybrid City Movement]], which blends 3D-printed structures with existing urban fabric, has created unique cityscapes that honor the past while embracing the future. This approach, similar to the integration of [[3D Printed Eco-Facades]] mentioned in our large-scale 3D printing discussion, has been particularly effective in revitalizing historical districts without losing their distinctive character. ## Bridging Tradition and Innovation in Architecture The field of architecture has seen a significant evolution in how traditional design principles are integrated with 3D printing technology. Universities worldwide now offer programs in [[Computational Vernacular Architecture]], which combine the study of traditional building techniques with advanced 3D modeling and printing methods. The [[Global Architectural Pattern Library]], an expansion of earlier digital design repositories, connects architects and urban planners worldwide to share 3D-printable designs inspired by diverse cultural traditions. This resource has been instrumental in creating cities that are both innovative and culturally grounded. ## Global Collaboration and Local Adaptations While global collaboration in 3D-printed urban development has increased, the importance of local solutions remains paramount. The [[Adaptive Urban Printing Network]], launched in response to diverse urban challenges, has fostered collaboration between cities facing similar issues. This network has been particularly impactful in areas experiencing rapid urbanization or environmental pressures, subtly adapting 3D-printed solutions to local needs and conditions. The [[Bioregional Urban Printing Alliance]], inspired by the [[Bioregional Crop Alliance]] mentioned in our sustainable crop development discussion, promotes the development of 3D-printed urban solutions specifically adapted to local ecosystems. This approach has proven effective in creating resilient urban environments that are in harmony with their surrounding natural systems. ## Challenges and Future Directions Despite significant progress, 3D-printed urban development continues to face challenges. The ongoing [[Preservation vs. Innovation]] debate highlights the complex balance between maintaining urban heritage and embracing new technologies. The movement also grapples with issues of material sustainability and the long-term durability of 3D-printed structures. Looking ahead, the integration of more advanced AI systems in urban modeling and 3D printing promises further improvements in creating adaptive and responsive urban environments. However, as noted in recent [[Cultural Exchange Ethics Board]] reports, there are ongoing discussions about ensuring that these technological solutions remain aligned with cultural values and community needs. In conclusion, 3D-Printed Urban Development in 2035 stands as a testament to the transformative power of aligning technological innovation with cultural values, social equity, and community empowerment. It represents not just a new method of construction, but a fundamental shift in how society shapes and experiences urban environments. As global challenges continue to evolve, the holistic and collaborative approaches developed in this field may serve as a model for addressing other complex urban issues in our ever-changing world. </article> "
