As a part of a democratic demand for transparency in urban development processes it is important that design professionals hold the ability to scrutinize their own work process, and at certain stages let go of predefined ideas of future realities. The work of Sandra Kopljar’s dissertation revolves around how design professionals perceive options for design in such situations. A basic assumption th
