Mau’s 2001 book, Life Style, focused on shaping design’s role in individual lives, recognizing that ‘lifestyle’ in the post-war period had come to be defined solely in terms of consumptive patterns rather than class or occupation.
Four years later, Mau makes Life Style seem decidedly modest with his latest project, Massive Change, in which he declares his capacity, as a designer, to ‘control and direct all emerging forces’- which encompasses ‘manufacturing, transportation, urbanism, warfare, health, living, energy, markets, materials, the image and information’.

Toronto-based "design activist" Bruce Mau shared an hour and a half worth of thoughts last night with a nearly packed auditorium at Parsons The New School for Design.
The Segway was brought out as one possible solution, and Mau showed his more pragmatic side when asked about its spectacular failure to deliver a transit revolution: "It just wasn't marketed very well."
In his signature all-encompassing style, Mau took the Segway as one small part of a solution, noting that modern cities and towns owe most of their structure to the existence of the automobile, and that different modes of transport necessitate different structures.

As our twenty-minute interview reveals, it was the product of an extensive collaboration between Bruce Mau Design and the Institute without Boundaries, a post-graduate research laboratory that Mau launched in partnership with George Brown-Toronto City College.
Mau’s willingness to push the conventions of graphic design, and to look at the page as a site in the architectural sense, are characteristic of this mentality.
The various collaborations between Mau and Koolhaas (both in typography and urbanism) are perhaps the clearest examples of the urbanism Turnbull alludes to.
