Are you interested in sustainable living? What do you think about creating settlements from the ground up? How can a city be overwhelming and impressive?
Interview Dave Hakkens, an industrial designer, inventor and an overall pioneer. We talk about his vision for the future of cities, decentralisation, sustainable living options and research, and many more. 
Dave Hakkens is a Dutch industrial designer. He gained fame with his two graduation projects: PhoneBloks, a concept for modular telephones, and Precious Plastic, a movement to develop and promote machines and organizations for plastic recycling. After Precious Plastic and PhoneBloks gained momentum, Dave helped to set up One Army, as the group of people from around the world working on global problems affecting the planet and humanity. One Army has five different projects currently: Precious Plastic, PhoneBloks, Story Hopper, Fixing#Fashion, and Project Kamp where Dave spends most of his time. Project Kamp is prototyping a new way of living on planet Earth working on regenerative land management, sustainable building, permaculture, water retention systems, renewable energy, how to peacefully live together and more. This project aims to solve the problem of sustainable living. Dave is seen by many as an example of a new generation of designers who have set themselves the goal of improving society by sharing knowledge.
