Abstract

Here is where we begin our exploration of the future. This chapter starts with setting the stage for a discussion about the future of our cities based on the influences that are controlling the narrative and the possible paths. Then, the chapter turns to how the exploration of different futures for our cities would look like, stressing the points of strategic intent, key processes, signposts, and futures on the horizon. This discussion is meant to change the leader’s thinking paradigms and senses for discovering emerging futures on the horizon. That discussion is paramount to the understanding of how four city scenarios of the future were built.
