Abstract
The six images of the future are defined by combining one of two tempi with one of the three urban structures. The tempo describes the pace at which people lead their lives and thus how they spend their daily 24 h. The time regimes as described here are a bit extreme, but they are developed to illustrate two different possible directions of time use, either Fast or Slow. These directions that have important though different implications for how energy use can be reduced in society.
