Art, research, science and the creative mind needs to be in every process that concerns urban planning and the development of society. A routine for art- and researchbased methods in the official structures of exploiting land and planning processes secure sustainability for the planet and a healthier future for life on earth. This might seem obvious but today there is no structural routine that integrates art and science in urban planning witch results in decision based on short-term monetary gains, dense environments lacking green areas, weak ecosystem care and the use of not refundable recourses. As a result of this the urban population – more half of the worlds population (4.4 billion people) live their lives in areas that resembles to climate hostile traps. Artist, scientists, architects and designers of all kinds should be and integrated part of planningprocesses in order to create a healthy and climatfriendly cities and societies.
