The twenties of the 21st century confront the spatial design of our country with long-term crises: climate, biodiversity, housing and social inequality. Ironically enough, we react tot his with short-term answers. Despite this fact however, we need exactly the opposite: an urban planning fort he long term. This essay explores what such future-oriented spatial planning could look like. It is a voyage of discovery that leads us through the tribe of planners, words and figures which strengthen our short-term thinking and the mystery of the imagination. Attention is also given to the eternal management question – who is responsible for what? This essay is a necessary and recognizable reflection for students, civil servants, advisers, project developers and administrators.
