Building scenarios is one way of making futures visible, and tangible, when dealing with complex issues. As a starting point for this project, we wanted to involve various expert groups to create scenarios of future urban living to be integrated into an ongoing larger discussion on what it would mean for cities to be ‘liveable cities’.
The Future Visioning Tool is a method designed for small workshops (minimum 8-20 people) where urban researchers, planners, and designers can develop ways to gather multiple perspectives in the same space about possible urban futures. The tool guides the workshop facilitator through a series of five activities to encourage participants to develop a set of diverse narratives and scenarios around urban futures
