The last few decades have been strongly characterized by the traditional concept of the so-called linear economy. A business model that largely negated the finite nature of natural resources and the responsibility of producers for their products even after they had been sold. Society is producing and consuming beyond the planet's carrying capacity and the effects are devastating - climate change, overuse of natural resources and loss of biodiversity, to name just a few of the negative impacts. A political and economic transformation, including the adaptation of existing business models, is needed more urgently than ever before. At the same time, there is a desire for quality of life, affordable housing and the greatest possible mobility and flexibility, as the most important aspect of action in future-oriented housing and life planning. People as customers and consumers play the central role in future-oriented considerations.
