We had a busy year in 2024, appointing our Advisory Panel, identifying potential futures, and finding partners to envision the places, people, products and policies that could bring these futures to life.

Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing our work, and that of our collaborators, as we continue on our mission to imagine a brighter and more resilient future.

World 1: A Future of Extremes

Diversity Meets Innovation in a Fragmented World. Imagine a world where politics are polarised but society thrives on multiculturalism. Cities are vibrant mosaics of cultures, innovation is driven by diverse perspectives, and resilience emerges from the intersections of differences. Yet, challenges like extreme weather, economic disparities, and social fragmentation demand our boldest thinking.

Key Features of World 1:

• Cultural Fusion: Dynamic cities blending traditions and cutting-edge innovation.
  
  

• Climate Adaptation: Resilient infrastructure and sustainable practices redefine living.
  
  

• Innovation from Independence: Grassroots movements and local governments driving creative solutions.
  
  What If:


  
  

• Clothing could adapt to climate extremes while preserving cultural identity?


  
  

• Neighborhoods were designed to thrive amidst climate migration and disasters?
  
  

• Join the Conversation! How do you think diversity and independence can shape a more resilient future? What role can design play in bridging divides?
