(528, 1, '2020-11-16 21:31:58', '2020-11-16 11:31:58', '“Our Future”, a year-long consultation process about a long-term vision for the City of Geelong, has begun. City of Greater Geelong CEO Kelvin Spiller engaged the first UNESCO chair of futures studies, <a href=\"http://www.soif.org.uk/sohail-inayatullah/\">Sohail Inayatullah</a>, to kick-start the project in September.\r\n\r\nSpiller, who has produced <a href=\"http://emeraldinsight.com/doi/abs/10.1108/FS-02-2016-0003\">outcomes for city visioning</a> initiatives on the Sunshine Coast, describes <a href=\"https://geelongaustralia.com.au/ourfuture/default.aspx\">Our Future</a> as a process of “presenting new perceptions, future directions, identifying used futures and new scenarios”. In a rapidly changing world, citizens use scenario thinking to gain insights into how cities can create alternative possibilities and solutions.\r\n<h2>How does industry see the future?</h2>\r\nInayatullah helped workshops of industry professionals develop various industry scenarios:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Geelong’s emerging futures emphasise its great coastal beauty and its people’s strengths. The city remains small compared to the Gold Coast although, with 229,000 people, Greater Geelong is still among the largest of 561 local government areas in Australia. It is attractive, scenic and touristy. The city’s tranquil bay and marina, picturesque vineyards and proximity attract holidaymakers from Melbourne.\r\n<div class=\"slot\" data-id=\"17\">\r\n<div class=\"promo\"></div>\r\n</div></li>\r\n 	<li>Artificial intelligence (AI) futures open up a journey on the digital highway to build crowdsourced ideas, new funding models and business start-ups. Geelong’s traditional motor vehicle <a href=\"http://users.tpg.com.au/gmc/industry_strengths.html\">manufacturing culture</a> combines with a spirit of innovation and global enterprise. The city promotes, evolves and services the introduction of driverless cars, the gaming industry, smart technologies and robotics.</li>\r\n 	<li>Geelong’s population density, growing diversity, economic mix and proximity to Melbourne’s demographic richness support it as a social and education city. Geelong increases its transport and connectedness to its unique destinations to attract wide interests, new worker profiles and residents seeking a “sea change” from Melbourne’s inner suburbs. Residents network with local business owners and workers to generate services and programs for regional neighbours and Melbourne’s markets.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h2>What does the community want?</h2>\r\nGuided by Inayatullah, a community interactive session used metaphors to bring home a message of continual transition. He describes the use of metaphors as being a decisive factor in shifting narrative strategy:\r\n<blockquote>If you don’t innovate and create agency to shift your own narrative, then culture eats strategy for breakfast.</blockquote>\r\n<figure>\r\n<div class=\"fluidvids\"><iframe class=\"fluidvids-item\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/blP0Q61-SXI?wmode=transparent&amp;start=0\" width=\"440\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-fluidvids=\"loaded\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"></iframe></div>\r\n<figcaption><span class=\"caption\">Professor Sohail Inayatullah at the Geelong Our Future community session.</span></figcaption></figure>\r\nGeelong’s history of innovation includes the development of the world’s <a href=\"http://www.intown.com.au/feature/geelongs-ute-a-world-first.htm\">first ute</a> and the <a href=\"https://museumvictoria.com.au/about/mv-news/2009/harrison-refrigerator-model/\">first industrial refrigerator</a>. This history suggests Geelong could provide services to global niche markets.\r\n\r\nThe community also suggested transitions from costly and unnatural botanic gardens to green bionic gardens – sprawling rooftop gardens, indoor gardens and rainwater systems flowing into indigenous gardens. Gardens would beautify municipal roads and infrastructure.\r\n\r\nAnother suggested transition was from being a “dormitory of Melbourne” to being a retreat for Melbourne holidaymakers and a “hive” location for its best thinkers to create their futures.\r\n\r\nIn the community session, I outlined Gold Coast’s <a href=\"http://www.gchaveyoursay.com.au/bfpdiscussionforum\">Bold Future</a> initiative. My presentation featured the city’s growth, including 100 new high-rises on the Surfers Paradise skyline in five decades.\r\n<figure>\r\n<div class=\"fluidvids\"><iframe class=\"fluidvids-item\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/QcdtmXYoRQs?wmode=transparent&amp;start=0\" width=\"440\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-fluidvids=\"loaded\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"></iframe></div>\r\n<figcaption><span class=\"caption\">The author explains how Gold Coast prepared for growth.</span></figcaption></figure>\r\n<h2>Navigating different growth scenarios</h2>\r\nThe challenge for Geelong is to navigate through growth scenarios such as:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Sustainable growth: five new high-rises emerge to support low-level tourism, conference accommodation and a burgeoning education and health precinct.</li>\r\n 	<li>Overdevelopment: an oversupply of residential and holiday maker apartments become difficult to fill, halting investment. Population waves are required to sustain rates and market base.</li>\r\n 	<li>Underdevelopment: Gold Coast’s rapid growth raises questions about Geelong’s slow growth and missed opportunities to develop high-rises alongside celebratory events packages. These packages rely on transport and tourism infrastructure and include the building of stadiums. The strength of underdevelopment, however, is that Geelong remains a clean, green and historically beautiful seaside city.</li>\r\n 	<li>Negative growth: collapse results in generations of hardship.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAn outcome of Gold Coast’s 2037 vision is its <a href=\"http://healthknowledge.moregoldcoast.com.au/\">Health and Knowledge Precinct</a>. The 200-hectare site has generated more than A$5 billion in investment and is now linked by light rail to the city’s tourism centres.\r\n\r\nSpiller noted that Geelong’s Our Future is continuing a 175-year process of reinvention. He hailed transformational metaphors that saw the city as more than a technology hub, potentially providing a deep commitment to networking to create a Silicon Valley. These have led to visions of transforming from a “resort city” to a “city of health and wellness”, from an “industrial, agricultural city” to a creative lifestyle, and from a “sleepy hollow” to an “emerging and sustainable city”.\r\n<figure>\r\n<div class=\"fluidvids\"><iframe class=\"fluidvids-item\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/fJVpOAi0dXo?wmode=transparent&amp;start=0\" width=\"440\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-fluidvids=\"loaded\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"></iframe></div>\r\n<figcaption><span class=\"caption\">Kelvin Spiller talks about the visions for Geelong’s future.</span></figcaption></figure>\r\n<h2>Time for feedback on Geelong’s future</h2>\r\nOur Future extends over five stages, with the final three to begin in 2017.\r\n\r\nFrom January to March, the community can comment on ideas presented to date.

The City of Greater Geelong is aiming to look ahead 20 to 30 years through its first visioning and strategy project, Geelong 2040.

Considering an emerging <a href=\"http://www.shapingseq.com.au/\">regional plan</a> for Southeast Queensland, professor <a href=\"http://www.metafuture.org/about-us/\">Sohail Inayatullah</a>, the first UNESCO Chair in Futures Studies, created the following alternatives:\r\n\r\n<strong>Scenario one:</strong> visions are achieved and our cities are still liveable. By 2040, the population has dramatically increased, but good governance, community consultation and foresight have mitigated negative possibilities (crime, congestion, pollution) and enhanced positive possibilities (job growth, green belt protection, water and energy management).\r\n\r\nPeople want to move into these visionary cities, even with higher housing prices. A fair go is still possible.\r\n<figure class=\"align-right zoomable\"><a href=\"https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=1000&amp;fit=clip\"><img src=\"https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=237&amp;fit=clip\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1466px) 754px, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, (min-width: 600px) 600px, 237px\" srcset=\"https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=841&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1 600w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=30&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=841&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=2 1200w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=15&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=841&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=3 1800w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=1057&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1 754w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=30&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=1057&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=2 1508w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=15&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=1057&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=3 2262w\" alt=\"\" /></a>\r\n<div class=\"enlarge_hint\"></div>\r\n<figcaption><span class=\"caption\">Scenario two: hot and paved.</span> <span class=\"attribution\"><a class=\"source\" href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/danspink/15698491719/in/photolist-pVdSEk\">dnlspnk/flickr</a>, <a class=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/\">CC BY-NC</a></span></figcaption></figure>\r\n<strong>Scenario two:</strong> cities arrive at the fate of being “hot and paved”. Market pressures kept driving up housing prices. Developers paid lip service to green and social concerns and a two-class society has emerged. Traffic problems did not decrease; rather, efforts to widen highways led to more congestion. Funding went to major highway connections while public transport and alternative working-from-home practices were overlooked.\r\n\r\nGlobal warming has only made life worse – temperatures continue to rise, water shortages increase. Health indicators worsen.\r\n\r\nThree tiers of government look to each other for solutions. Federal governments just seek to stay in power. Capacity for sustainable futures shrinks.\r\n\r\n<strong>Scenario three:</strong> worse yet, 2040 could be wired and miserable. In this scenario, the previous 20 years have been a series of confrontations between local, state and federal governments, between developers and environmentalists, between individual freedom and security, young and old, rural and coastal areas, and new migrants (many environmental refugees) and old migrants.\r\n\r\nIt is a world of endless sprawl, congested highways and gang warfare. Technology and power are used to keep collective peace.\r\n\r\n<strong>Scenario four:</strong> the concern is for the long-term future. Councils all over Australia continue to develop their own visions. As a result, there is a community capacity to innovate.\r\n\r\nThe percentage of people known as “cultural creatives” has grown dramatically. The values of sustainability, spirituality, innovation and global governance have become the official values.\r\n\r\nThe main changes are toward home-based work, public transport and active transport. Futures thinking is helping cities get ahead of challenges such as climate change, population growth and democratic policy selection.\r\n<figure>\r\n<div class=\"fluidvids\"><iframe class=\"fluidvids-item\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/L5MJ_APlLc4?wmode=transparent&amp;start=0\" width=\"440\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-fluidvids=\"loaded\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"></iframe></div>\r\n<figcaption><span class=\"caption\">An introduction to Sohail Inayatullah’s work on futures thinking.</span></figcaption></figure>\r\nInayatullah’s new book, <a href=\"http://www.metafuture.org/product/what-works-2\">What Works</a>, discusses other studies about city futures.\r\n<h2>Sustainable actions</h2>\r\nA third way foresight shapes futures is through sustainable actions.

However, more is required. Better legislation is called for to help cities to plan with foresight, but also city councils should be trialling a range of other measures being employed successfully in Australia.\r\n\r\nFor example, having a community coalition of local leaders like the one the City of Logan is building can have positive insights for local governance teams to consider. Also, a dedicated team like the <a href=\"http://www.planning.org.au/documents/item/3245\">urban renewal team in Brisbane</a> in the mid-1990s to mid-2000s could help re-establish principles of local area planning in cities of southeast Queensland.</blockquote>\r\nIn southeast Queensland, a <a href=\"http://www.shapingseq.com.au/\">new regional plan</a> will unite its cities’ plans under a high-level strategic vision for the next 50 years.\r\n\r\nInayatullah, Spiller, Munro and I agree that, to ensure long-term actions work sustainably, cities should engage stakeholders and communities in visioning, involve futurists who understand how to apply and deepen scenarios and foresight methods, and create strategies within a futures framework. The last step relies upon:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>developing stronger sectoral, suburban and regionally aligned long-term plans;</li>\r\n 	<li>aligning city short-term corporate plans to long-term visions;</li>\r\n 	<li>working with state and federal government to align city visions with global East-West strategies, including geopolitical, economic and cultural elements; and</li>\r\n 	<li>refreshing visions using futurists’ methods to ensure a scientific and democratic engagement process.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nForesight is synonymous with a transforming, renewable and complex urbanism. Globally, cities are driving change and applying foresight to open their markets and improve collective prosperity and places.\r\n\r\nThe need for sustainable urbanism compels us to update plans not only for physical infrastructure but also for “softer” matters of population, energy, ecology, safety, education, health and seamless connection up, down and across sectors, borders and cultures.

A fair go is still possible.\r\n<figure class=\"align-right zoomable\"><a href=\"https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=1000&amp;fit=clip\"><img src=\"https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=237&amp;fit=clip\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1466px) 754px, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, (min-width: 600px) 600px, 237px\" srcset=\"https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=841&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1 600w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=30&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=841&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=2 1200w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=15&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=841&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=3 1800w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=1057&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1 754w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=30&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=1057&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=2 1508w, https://images.theconversation.com/files/130650/original/image-20160715-2153-134evzm.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=15&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=1057&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=3 2262w\" alt=\"\" /></a>\r\n<div class=\"enlarge_hint\"></div>\r\n<figcaption><span class=\"caption\">Scenario two: hot and paved.</span> <span class=\"attribution\"><a class=\"source\" href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/danspink/15698491719/in/photolist-pVdSEk\">dnlspnk/flickr</a>, <a class=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/\">CC BY-NC</a></span></figcaption></figure>\r\n<strong>Scenario two:</strong> cities arrive at the fate of being “hot and paved”. Market pressures kept driving up housing prices. Developers paid lip service to green and social concerns and a two-class society has emerged. Traffic problems did not decrease; rather, efforts to widen highways led to more congestion. Funding went to major highway connections while public transport and alternative working-from-home practices were overlooked.\r\n\r\nGlobal warming has only made life worse – temperatures continue to rise, water shortages increase. Health indicators worsen.\r\n\r\nThree tiers of government look to each other for solutions. Federal governments just seek to stay in power. Capacity for sustainable futures shrinks.\r\n\r\n<strong>Scenario three:</strong> worse yet, 2040 could be wired and miserable. In this scenario, the previous 20 years have been a series of confrontations between local, state and federal governments, between developers and environmentalists, between individual freedom and security, young and old, rural and coastal areas, and new migrants (many environmental refugees) and old migrants.\r\n\r\nIt is a world of endless sprawl, congested highways and gang warfare. Technology and power are used to keep collective peace.\r\n\r\n<strong>Scenario four:</strong> the concern is for the long-term future. Councils all over Australia continue to develop their own visions. As a result, there is a community capacity to innovate.\r\n\r\nThe percentage of people known as “cultural creatives” has grown dramatically. The values of sustainability, spirituality, innovation and global governance have become the official values.\r\n\r\nThe main changes are toward home-based work, public transport and active transport. Futures thinking is helping cities get ahead of challenges such as climate change, population growth and democratic policy selection.\r\n<figure>\r\n<div class=\"fluidvids\"><iframe class=\"fluidvids-item\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/L5MJ_APlLc4?wmode=transparent&amp;start=0\" width=\"440\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-fluidvids=\"loaded\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"></iframe></div>\r\n<figcaption><span class=\"caption\">An introduction to Sohail Inayatullah’s work on futures thinking.</span></figcaption></figure>\r\nInayatullah’s new book, <a href=\"http://www.metafuture.org/product/what-works-2\">What Works</a>, discusses other studies about city futures.\r\n<h2>Sustainable actions</h2>\r\nA third way foresight shapes futures is through sustainable actions.

It will offset the council’s entire electricity consumption by 2017.\r\n\r\nOn the Gold Coast, 7.3km of <a href=\"http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Projects/Name/G/Gold-Coast-Light-Rail-Stage-2.aspx\">light rail</a> extensions will be delivered before the 2018 Commonwealth Games. This will ease congestion, improve accessibility and promote economic growth.\r\n\r\nIn Logan, a <a href=\"http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/brisbane-south-bank-entertainment-precinct-inspires-plans-for-similar-project-in-logan/news-story/b84b85d938a861baced5c2f22686f4c4\">Southbank development</a> will create recreational space on river banks alongside floating restaurants to stimulate investment.\r\n\r\nWhen I interviewed former Brisbane City CEO Jude Munro about city foresight, she observed:\r\n<blockquote>The benefits from closely linking land use and transport planning are a clear priority. However, more is required. Better legislation is called for to help cities to plan with foresight, but also city councils should be trialling a range of other measures being employed successfully in Australia.\r\n\r\nFor example, having a community coalition of local leaders like the one the City of Logan is building can have positive insights for local governance teams to consider. Also, a dedicated team like the <a href=\"http://www.planning.org.au/documents/item/3245\">urban renewal team in Brisbane</a> in the mid-1990s to mid-2000s could help re-establish principles of local area planning in cities of southeast Queensland.</blockquote>\r\nIn southeast Queensland, a <a href=\"http://www.shapingseq.com.au/\">new regional plan</a> will unite its cities’ plans under a high-level strategic vision for the next 50 years.\r\n\r\nInayatullah, Spiller, Munro and I agree that, to ensure long-term actions work sustainably, cities should engage stakeholders and communities in visioning, involve futurists who understand how to apply and deepen scenarios and foresight methods, and create strategies within a futures framework. The last step relies upon:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>developing stronger sectoral, suburban and regionally aligned long-term plans;</li>\r\n 	<li>aligning city short-term corporate plans to long-term visions;</li>\r\n 	<li>working with state and federal government to align city visions with global East-West strategies, including geopolitical, economic and cultural elements; and</li>\r\n 	<li>refreshing visions using futurists’ methods to ensure a scientific and democratic engagement process.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nForesight is synonymous with a transforming, renewable and complex urbanism. Globally, cities are driving change and applying foresight to open their markets and improve collective prosperity and places.\r\n\r\nThe need for sustainable urbanism compels us to update plans not only for physical infrastructure but also for “softer” matters of population, energy, ecology, safety, education, health and seamless connection up, down and across sectors, borders and cultures. The more we think ahead with greater depth and breadth of understanding and co-operation, the better our city futures will be.', 'A tale of five cities: applying foresight to shape their futures', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '529-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-11-16 21:36:53', '2020-11-16 11:36:53', '', 529, 'http://localhost:8888/wordpress/2020/11/16/529-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

The method was created following terms from the article “Engaging Futures 2030 – Futures methods transforming governance” (Russo, 2015).</span></p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"yF0IC\" data-hook=\"post-description\"><article class=\"blog-post-page-font\">\r\n<div class=\"post-content__body\">\r\n<div class=\"lV_uZ _1LHlu _1ltva\" data-rce-version=\"8.5.0\">\r\n<div class=\"kcuBq _1PkHV blog-post-page-font _3f8WX uatYj\" dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"kaqlz _1FQ9t blog-post-page-font zJfAe\">\r\n<div id=\"viewer-1mg0o\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"viewer-38sjo\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"viewer-5ejtp\" class=\"q2uC4 _3kAGd\">\r\n<div class=\"c-Mgr _2Mq66 _2Mq66 _7gPc2\">\r\n<div class=\"_1Lhwj image-container _2mwxs\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-hook=\"imageViewer\">\r\n<div class=\"xdJBZ\" role=\"img\"><img class=\"_1Fjtc _2lDdg aligncenter\" src=\"https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e5a1f8_b9666936f8dc4957a65cadf8cf40fc70~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1401,h_997,al_c,q_90/e5a1f8_b9666936f8dc4957a65cadf8cf40fc70~mv2.webp\" data-pin-url=\"https://www.engagingfutures.com/single-post/redland-city-2040-futures-thinking-and-strategy-transformation-workshop\" data-pin-media=\"https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e5a1f8_b9666936f8dc4957a65cadf8cf40fc70~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000%2Ch_997%2Cal_c%2Cq_80/file.png\" /></div>\r\n<div class=\"\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"\"></div>\r\n<span class=\"_3ULLf image-caption\" dir=\"auto\">CEO Andrew Chesterman - Clarifying Purpose and Shaping Futures</span>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"viewer-798h\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"> </span></div>\r\n<p id=\"viewer-cordo\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">This workshop provided skills to shape the long-term futures of cities – map the future, anticipate emerging issues, understand long-term patterns of change, consequences of possible futures, and innovate and create new possibilities.

The methods included shared history, futures triangle, emerging issues analysis and alternative scenarios. Additionally, the group worked with Dr Russo’s Unicity Futures method. The method was created following terms from the article “Engaging Futures 2030 – Futures methods transforming governance” (Russo, 2015). </span></p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"viewer-1mg0o\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"viewer-38sjo\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"viewer-5ejtp\" class=\"q2uC4 _3kAGd\">\r\n<div class=\"c-Mgr _2Mq66 _2Mq66 _7gPc2\">\r\n<div class=\"_1Lhwj image-container _2mwxs\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-hook=\"imageViewer\">\r\n<div class=\"xdJBZ\" role=\"img\"><img class=\"_1Fjtc _2lDdg aligncenter\" src=\"https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e5a1f8_b9666936f8dc4957a65cadf8cf40fc70~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1401,h_997,al_c,q_90/e5a1f8_b9666936f8dc4957a65cadf8cf40fc70~mv2.webp\" data-pin-url=\"https://www.engagingfutures.com/single-post/redland-city-2040-futures-thinking-and-strategy-transformation-workshop\" data-pin-media=\"https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e5a1f8_b9666936f8dc4957a65cadf8cf40fc70~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000%2Ch_997%2Cal_c%2Cq_80/file.png\" /></div>\r\n<div class=\"\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"\"></div>\r\n<span class=\"_3ULLf image-caption\" dir=\"auto\">CEO Andrew Chesterman - Clarifying Purpose and Shaping Futures</span></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"viewer-798h\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"> </span></div>\r\n<p id=\"viewer-cordo\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">This workshop provided skills to shape the long-term futures of cities – map the future, anticipate emerging issues, understand long-term patterns of change, consequences of possible futures, and innovate and create new possibilities.

The method was created following terms from the article “Engaging Futures 2030 – Futures methods transforming governance” (Russo, 2015).</span></p>\n\n</div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"yF0IC\" data-hook=\"post-description\"><article class=\"blog-post-page-font\">\n<div class=\"post-content__body\">\n<div class=\"lV_uZ _1LHlu _1ltva\" data-rce-version=\"8.5.0\">\n<div class=\"kcuBq _1PkHV blog-post-page-font _3f8WX uatYj\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"kaqlz _1FQ9t blog-post-page-font zJfAe\">\n<div id=\"viewer-1mg0o\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"> </span></div>\n<div id=\"viewer-38sjo\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"> </span></div>\n<div id=\"viewer-5ejtp\" class=\"q2uC4 _3kAGd\">\n<div class=\"c-Mgr _2Mq66 _2Mq66 _7gPc2\">\n<div class=\"_1Lhwj image-container _2mwxs\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-hook=\"imageViewer\">\n<div class=\"xdJBZ\" role=\"img\"><img class=\"_1Fjtc _2lDdg aligncenter\" src=\"https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e5a1f8_b9666936f8dc4957a65cadf8cf40fc70~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1401,h_997,al_c,q_90/e5a1f8_b9666936f8dc4957a65cadf8cf40fc70~mv2.webp\" data-pin-url=\"https://www.engagingfutures.com/single-post/redland-city-2040-futures-thinking-and-strategy-transformation-workshop\" data-pin-media=\"https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e5a1f8_b9666936f8dc4957a65cadf8cf40fc70~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000%2Ch_997%2Cal_c%2Cq_80/file.png\" /></div>\n<div class=\"\"></div>\n<div class=\"\"></div>\n<span class=\"_3ULLf image-caption\" dir=\"auto\">CEO Andrew Chesterman - Clarifying Purpose and Shaping Futures</span>\n\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div id=\"viewer-798h\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"> </span></div>\n<p id=\"viewer-cordo\" class=\"XzvDs _208Ie ljrnk blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">This workshop provided skills to shape the long-term futures of cities – map the future, anticipate emerging issues, understand long-term patterns of change, consequences of possible futures, and innovate and create new possibilities.

Instead of always going one step forward and one step backward, we should be enhancing, or making a better world. For example, in climate change, cities create renewable energy supplies, but increase use of fossil fuels, or increase populations so that consumption remains the same. An alternative example, is using solar directly from rooftops instead of fossil fuelled electricity supplies from the grid, to operate electric vehicles.</p>\n</li>\n 	<li id=\"viewer-7vfen\" class=\"ljrnk _1QOLZ public-DraftStyleDefault-orderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie _2QAo- _25MYV _1Fao9 ljrnk\">We forget what others are doing in other locations, so that we often reinvent the wheel, or lose valuable insights.

Redland was declared a Shire in 1949, and has emerged from its then population of 6,000 living within bushland to become a city of 155,000 who retain much of the bushland giving home to Australian wildlife.

This migration is contributing to a coastal cities’ boom during the current \'digital age\'. The Consequences are again of leaving rural area services and infrastructure in decline. Declines of US ‘middle-west’ States fueled a Republican victory at the US Presidential elections in November 2016. The dream of \'making it in America\' applied more so to the West coast cities of California and Los Angeles and the East coast city of New York, ensuring that a \'back to the future\' scenario in the middle States was increasingly unlikely.

Across the US, even though over the past sixty years </span><a href=\"http://worldhappiness.report/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/HR17-Ch7.pdf\">income has risen 300%, happiness over the last decade has declined</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">, because of “rising inequality, corruption, isolation, and distrust”</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Mapping the plausible rural futures with Futures Triangle method</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">An understanding of a) current drivers and B) weights of history or the barriers to the \'business as usual future\' of continued urban growth to 2030, together with c) pulling future images / case examples from cities, can help rural areas to develop their strategic foresight. The method used in the next analysis is the Six Pillars framework´s </span><a href=\"http://www.futuresplatform.com/blog/how-can-we-predict-plausible-futures\">Futures Triangle</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">, which is used for mapping the key elements that form the plausible future.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Drivers of the business-as-usual future</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The global State of the Futures Index (SOFI) projects to 2030 significant increases in renewable energy use, internet use, high-skilled employment, gross national income and health expenditure - factors that indicate no pause in growth for major cities. In fact, the projections suggest accelerated growth in densely populated regions. But the story doesn’t have to end with rural decline. This business as usual projection does not exclude growth or enhancement of lifestyles in particular rural areas. If inland regions can play a role in offering unique experiences, opportunities and products as alternatives to crowded city lifestyles they can reshape their futures. Part of the reason for this optimism is that rural localities are connected to globalisation by air, road, rail but of particular importance is their connection to the world’s constantly evolving digital highway.</span>\r\n<h4></h4>\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Barriers to the business-as-usual future</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">SOFI\'s ten-year projections of barriers to growth include future declines in water sources, biocapacity and forest areas. With foresight, these barriers can be turned into opportunities. All of these barriers can be resolved with resources that abound in rural areas, particularly resources of large tracts of cheap, available land. For example, the outback Queensland town of Hughenden, is </span><a href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2017-08-28/outback-town-looks-to-pilot-australia27s-next-cropping-fronteir/8848350\">securing a new water source to establish large scale crop irrigation</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> that would help feed its region. Hope for rural areas can also be found from advances in technologies such as solar power </span><a href=\"https://www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Environment/Sunshine-Coast-Solar-Farm/Solar-Farm-Overview\">now being delivered for the first time in Australia’s history by a local government organisation</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> offsetting all of its facilities and operations with solar energy.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Barriers to growth also include social systems. The United Nations calls for cities and human settlements to make themselves inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable </span><a href=\"https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld\">Social Progress Indicators</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> of basic human needs, wellbeing and opportunity are helpful in monitoring progress by making clear where a nation is under and over performing. For example, </span><a href=\"https://www.socialprogressindex.com/?tab=2&amp;code=FIN&amp;compare=AUS&amp;compare=FIN&amp;prop=SPI\">Finland is second highest in world social progress</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> and is overperforming in the </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">provision of affordable housing, but is underperforming in some other areas.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Preferred futures can be understood more deeply and made more socially accountable in cities and settlements, by taking into consideration aspects of inequality as is monitored by the </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index. As its name suggest, this index reduces an areas score for areas of inequality. The </span><a href=\"http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/2016_human_development_report.pdf\">UN’s Human Development Program Report</a> <span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">identifies barriers to human development of intolerance and exclusion, weak bargaining power, elite capture of institutions and narrow self-identities.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Case studies that pull cities and settlements toward the business-as-usual future</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Rural areas are best positioned to ask for support from higher levels of government, from business partners and from larger cities, when they create a clear plan outlining preferred futures. This plan can be substantiated by case studies that allow an analysis of preferred, disowned, integrated and outlier futures. Case studies should be from multiple domains e.g. social, economic, leadership, environmental, cultural, transport, futures, governance and politics (SELECTFTGP). Case studies of improved social liveability, technological innovation and leadership/foresight are offered next. Firstly, <a href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-16/melbourne-named-worlds-most-liveable-city-for-seventh-year/8812196\">the world\'s most liveable city</a></span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-16/melbourne-named-worlds-most-liveable-city-for-seventh-year/8812196\">for seven years running, is Melbourne</a></span><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">. The </span><a href=\"http://www.smh.com.au/cqstatic/gxx1l4/LiveabilityReport2017.pdf\">Liveability Report</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> appeals greatly to current and potential residents, visitors and investors. It ranks the preferred future of liveability by assessing the quality of each cities’ stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. At the same time, </span><a href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-17/melbourne-not-worlds-most-liveable-city-vancouver-planner-says/8815514\">Melbourne\'s case for \'most liveable\' has its detractors</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">- the disowned future is of city residents resting comfortably when economic inequity leaves smaller populations feeling disenfranchised. An integrated view of the future would take the preferred ‘liveability’ view and the disowned ‘inequality’ view, and create a happy medium, for example, that residents should be encouraged to \'get away from it all\' via holidays and in retirement years, and make a contribution to rural tourism.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The role for rural towns becomes one of building capacities of attractive, accessible, family friendly destinations that offer tourists ‘a happiness experience, ’ i.e. they revitalise health and wellbeing and contribute to the nation\'s happiness. In </span><a href=\"http://www.grossnationalhappiness.com/2017/02/a-short-guide-to-gnh-index/\">Bhutan, a national scale of happiness</a> <span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">includes areas of education, health, environment, community vitality, time use, psychological wellbeing, good governance and cultural resilience. Bhutan has many lessons to share with international communities. On a city scale, the UK is </span><a href=\"http://www.happycity.org.uk/measurement-policy/happy-city-index/\">monitoring city progress</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> via success in providing the conditions that create sustainable wellbeing, for its top 9 cities. The importance of monitoring city indexes of liveability and happiness, is in cities and settlements identifying their own stories, what works for them and to develop measures and indicators specific to their strengths and interests – potentially helping large and small cities to create mutually beneficial partnerships.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Another case study is of technological innovation displayed by the Chinese city of Shenzhen. This is a city that has contributed greatly to the innovations being exchanged in Silicon Valley. Shenzhen achieved success via a very different model to one structured by legalities surrounding intellectual property. Instead, Shenzhen excels because of a willingness to share, innovate and learn. This practice may be termed ‘co-opetition’ exemplified by Shenzhen\'s business model of endemic cooperation and innovation and which helps Shenzhen and its partners remain competitive globally.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">A further case study for small cities learning from lionesque cities is to create a state of future readiness using corporate and long-term planning as Singapore is doing. Singapore has become an exemplar of long-term vision and policy creation fostering a state of future readiness.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Four new scenarios of possible and preferred futures</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">From this discussion, multi variables are integrated into four scenarios, set out here as a day in the life of a 2030 rural village.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Scenario 1 - “Rural tech startups” - By 2030 governments are funding business hubs, the mentoring of school leavers in entrepreneurship, undergraduate and postgraduate studies and </span><a href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/01/rural-tech-startups-see-success-across-us/\">rural tech competitions</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> to boost ‘co-opetition’ between businesses. Rural regions have converted large disused sheds into innovation workshops to inspire local to global crowd-sourcing and kick-starter ideas. They have excelled because they have created gigabit networks with data download speeds 500 times faster than broadband can deliver. This </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">network benefits scientists, video editors, 3D animators, musicians and software developers.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">One company that was unique to the USA in 2017 is </span><a href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/09/zipline-raises-25-million-to-deliver-medical-supplies-by-drone/\">Zipline</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> which delivers medical supplies across vast areas. In 2030 similar services have evolved in rural regions to deliver more than medical supplies – quadcopters and drones now taxi residents to rural destinations and deliver personal mail, business equipment and online shopping.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Scenario 2 - “Livability mimicker” - Rural towns transform to become \'most liveable\' and offer incentives such as four-day working weeks with a fifth day focused on the happiness of others through offering respite, health and psychological wellbeing services – counselling, educating, connecting. Rural areas developed an app to help facilitate social inclusion. They created community development through engagement, action learning, storying, psychological awareness, with an emphasis on social progress, creating opportunity for businesses and reducing inequality.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Scenario 3 - “Major projects” - Dams, nuclear power plants, military facilities, waste facilities and mining facilities are the first step in this scenario. After these possibilities became exhausted, the use of foresight to learn how to use less water emerged, e.g. focus on food futures via </span><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE8VEmhugvY\">aquaponics</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_tvJtUHnmU\">vertical farming</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Both systems use far less water than traditional farms and produce a variety of crops creating local self-sufficiency that reduces transport costs of food deliveries. Sustainable building design is another way that rural areas are learning from cities. Following this example from </span><a href=\"http://masdar.ae/en/masdar-city/live-work-play\">Masdar City in the Arab Emirates</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">, rural areas are now designing tourism friendly sustainable buildings that work effectively in intemperate climates.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Scenario 4 - \"Natural wonders research centres\" - In this 2030 scenario rural area populations are partnered with government and universities to provide internships, entrepreneurship, exchanges and outplacements to youth, innovators and professional staff. These exchanges build knowledge in areas like funding for observatories, natural wildlife and climatic conditions research centres and events strategies for research festivals that ‘re-story’ inland culture. By also working with futurists, the psychology of the community is integrated into a 2030 vision, through the use of transformative local stories and metaphors.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Scenario analysis, to clarify preferred, disowned, integrated and outlier futures</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The above scenarios lead to <strong>preferred</strong> futures that change local culture significantly. They bring space saving vertical industry, energy saving renewable industry and science led research coupled with an interest in the environment. They also bring social inclusion helping people to connect at home and in their businesses.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>Disowned</strong> futures are of agriculture, manufacturing and heavy industry.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>Integrated</strong> futures scenarios would see the use of multi-purpose spaces where vertical farming and aqua-ponds are on one side of a shed/warehouse and the other would be dedicated to researching machine parts to create advanced manufacturing processes e.g. nanobot materials for self-healing of machinery and changes to autonomous electric tractors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>Outlier </strong>futures project ‘what if’ scenarios, that could quickly disrupt rural futures to 2030. They include global proposals to industrialise and occupy rural regions, planetary cooling as renewables take effect sending people inland to temperate areas, hyper-speed underground transport systems that take people directly to neighbouring cities at low cost, as global share market based industries target rebuilding rural areas as eco-village health and learning retreats.</span>\r\n\r\nTable 1 Integrated Scenario: 2030 Rural Futures\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.futuresplatform.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Scenarios_0.png\" alt=\"Integrated Scenario: 2030 Rural Futures\" width=\"796\" height=\"364\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"f57779e4-d41c-410a-b5e1-b829f89c6752\" />\r\n<h4></h4>\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Benefits of using six pillars method</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Through the creation of their own alternative 2030 visions with the given method, rural regions can generate greater happiness. Settlements can prevent the \'Midwest USA\' oversight by presenting 2030 Visions that create preferred futures at multiple internal and external levels - to be in tune with emerging issues, challenges and global cultures. To be sure, reciprocation is needed from the lionesque cities - but what counts, as they say, isn\'t the size of the lion in the fight, it is the size of the heart in the lion.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>Dr Colin Russo</strong> is an Australian futurist, facilitator, award-winning futures author and award-winning engagement expert.

Across the US, even though over the past sixty years </span><a href=\"http://worldhappiness.report/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/HR17-Ch7.pdf\">income has risen 300%, happiness over the last decade has declined</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">, because of “rising inequality, corruption, isolation, and distrust”</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Mapping the plausible rural futures with Futures Triangle method</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">An understanding of a) current drivers and B) weights of history or the barriers to the \'business as usual future\' of continued urban growth to 2030, together with c) pulling future images / case examples from cities, can help rural areas to develop their strategic foresight. The method used in the next analysis is the Six Pillars framework´s </span><a href=\"http://www.futuresplatform.com/blog/how-can-we-predict-plausible-futures\">Futures Triangle</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">, which is used for mapping the key elements that form the plausible future.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Drivers of the business-as-usual future</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The global State of the Futures Index (SOFI) projects to 2030 significant increases in renewable energy use, internet use, high-skilled employment, gross national income and health expenditure - factors that indicate no pause in growth for major cities. In fact, the projections suggest accelerated growth in densely populated regions. But the story doesn’t have to end with rural decline. This business as usual projection does not exclude growth or enhancement of lifestyles in particular rural areas. If inland regions can play a role in offering unique experiences, opportunities and products as alternatives to crowded city lifestyles they can reshape their futures. Part of the reason for this optimism is that rural localities are connected to globalisation by air, road, rail but of particular importance is their connection to the world’s constantly evolving digital highway.</span>\r\n<h4></h4>\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Barriers to the business-as-usual future</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">SOFI\'s ten-year projections of barriers to growth include future declines in water sources, biocapacity and forest areas. With foresight, these barriers can be turned into opportunities. All of these barriers can be resolved with resources that abound in rural areas, particularly resources of large tracts of cheap, available land. For example, the outback Queensland town of Hughenden, is </span><a href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2017-08-28/outback-town-looks-to-pilot-australia27s-next-cropping-fronteir/8848350\">securing a new water source to establish large scale crop irrigation</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> that would help feed its region. Hope for rural areas can also be found from advances in technologies such as solar power </span><a href=\"https://www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Environment/Sunshine-Coast-Solar-Farm/Solar-Farm-Overview\">now being delivered for the first time in Australia’s history by a local government organisation</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> offsetting all of its facilities and operations with solar energy.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Barriers to growth also include social systems. The United Nations calls for cities and human settlements to make themselves inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable </span><a href=\"https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld\">Social Progress Indicators</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> of basic human needs, wellbeing and opportunity are helpful in monitoring progress by making clear where a nation is under and over performing. For example, </span><a href=\"https://www.socialprogressindex.com/?tab=2&amp;code=FIN&amp;compare=AUS&amp;compare=FIN&amp;prop=SPI\">Finland is second highest in world social progress</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> and is overperforming in the </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">provision of affordable housing, but is underperforming in some other areas.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Preferred futures can be understood more deeply and made more socially accountable in cities and settlements, by taking into consideration aspects of inequality as is monitored by the </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index. As its name suggest, this index reduces an areas score for areas of inequality. The </span><a href=\"http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/2016_human_development_report.pdf\">UN’s Human Development Program Report</a> <span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">identifies barriers to human development of intolerance and exclusion, weak bargaining power, elite capture of institutions and narrow self-identities.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Case studies that pull cities and settlements toward the business-as-usual future</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Rural areas are best positioned to ask for support from higher levels of government, from business partners and from larger cities, when they create a clear plan outlining preferred futures. This plan can be substantiated by case studies that allow an analysis of preferred, disowned, integrated and outlier futures. Case studies should be from multiple domains e.g. social, economic, leadership, environmental, cultural, transport, futures, governance and politics (SELECTFTGP). Case studies of improved social liveability, technological innovation and leadership/foresight are offered next. Firstly, <a href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-16/melbourne-named-worlds-most-liveable-city-for-seventh-year/8812196\">the world\'s most liveable city</a></span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-16/melbourne-named-worlds-most-liveable-city-for-seventh-year/8812196\">for seven years running, is Melbourne</a></span><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">. The </span><a href=\"http://www.smh.com.au/cqstatic/gxx1l4/LiveabilityReport2017.pdf\">Liveability Report</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> appeals greatly to current and potential residents, visitors and investors. It ranks the preferred future of liveability by assessing the quality of each cities’ stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. At the same time, </span><a href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-17/melbourne-not-worlds-most-liveable-city-vancouver-planner-says/8815514\">Melbourne\'s case for \'most liveable\' has its detractors</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">- the disowned future is of city residents resting comfortably when economic inequity leaves smaller populations feeling disenfranchised. An integrated view of the future would take the preferred ‘liveability’ view and the disowned ‘inequality’ view, and create a happy medium, for example, that residents should be encouraged to \'get away from it all\' via holidays and in retirement years, and make a contribution to rural tourism.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The role for rural towns becomes one of building capacities of attractive, accessible, family friendly destinations that offer tourists ‘a happiness experience, ’ i.e. they revitalise health and wellbeing and contribute to the nation\'s happiness. In </span><a href=\"http://www.grossnationalhappiness.com/2017/02/a-short-guide-to-gnh-index/\">Bhutan, a national scale of happiness</a> <span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">includes areas of education, health, environment, community vitality, time use, psychological wellbeing, good governance and cultural resilience. Bhutan has many lessons to share with international communities. On a city scale, the UK is </span><a href=\"http://www.happycity.org.uk/measurement-policy/happy-city-index/\">monitoring city progress</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> via success in providing the conditions that create sustainable wellbeing, for its top 9 cities. The importance of monitoring city indexes of liveability and happiness, is in cities and settlements identifying their own stories, what works for them and to develop measures and indicators specific to their strengths and interests – potentially helping large and small cities to create mutually beneficial partnerships.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Another case study is of technological innovation displayed by the Chinese city of Shenzhen. This is a city that has contributed greatly to the innovations being exchanged in Silicon Valley. Shenzhen achieved success via a very different model to one structured by legalities surrounding intellectual property. Instead, Shenzhen excels because of a willingness to share, innovate and learn. This practice may be termed ‘co-opetition’ exemplified by Shenzhen\'s business model of endemic cooperation and innovation and which helps Shenzhen and its partners remain competitive globally.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">A further case study for small cities learning from lionesque cities is to create a state of future readiness using corporate and long-term planning as Singapore is doing. Singapore has become an exemplar of long-term vision and policy creation fostering a state of future readiness.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Four new scenarios of possible and preferred futures</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">From this discussion, multi variables are integrated into four scenarios, set out here as a day in the life of a 2030 rural village.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Scenario 1 - “Rural tech startups” - By 2030 governments are funding business hubs, the mentoring of school leavers in entrepreneurship, undergraduate and postgraduate studies and </span><a href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/01/rural-tech-startups-see-success-across-us/\">rural tech competitions</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> to boost ‘co-opetition’ between businesses. Rural regions have converted large disused sheds into innovation workshops to inspire local to global crowd-sourcing and kick-starter ideas. They have excelled because they have created gigabit networks with data download speeds 500 times faster than broadband can deliver. This </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">network benefits scientists, video editors, 3D animators, musicians and software developers.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">One company that was unique to the USA in 2017 is </span><a href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/09/zipline-raises-25-million-to-deliver-medical-supplies-by-drone/\">Zipline</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> which delivers medical supplies across vast areas. In 2030 similar services have evolved in rural regions to deliver more than medical supplies – quadcopters and drones now taxi residents to rural destinations and deliver personal mail, business equipment and online shopping.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Scenario 2 - “Livability mimicker” - Rural towns transform to become \'most liveable\' and offer incentives such as four-day working weeks with a fifth day focused on the happiness of others through offering respite, health and psychological wellbeing services – counselling, educating, connecting. Rural areas developed an app to help facilitate social inclusion. They created community development through engagement, action learning, storying, psychological awareness, with an emphasis on social progress, creating opportunity for businesses and reducing inequality.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Scenario 3 - “Major projects” - Dams, nuclear power plants, military facilities, waste facilities and mining facilities are the first step in this scenario. After these possibilities became exhausted, the use of foresight to learn how to use less water emerged, e.g. focus on food futures via </span><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE8VEmhugvY\">aquaponics</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> and </span><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_tvJtUHnmU\">vertical farming</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Both systems use far less water than traditional farms and produce a variety of crops creating local self-sufficiency that reduces transport costs of food deliveries. Sustainable building design is another way that rural areas are learning from cities. Following this example from </span><a href=\"http://masdar.ae/en/masdar-city/live-work-play\">Masdar City in the Arab Emirates</a><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">, rural areas are now designing tourism friendly sustainable buildings that work effectively in intemperate climates.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Scenario 4 - \"Natural wonders research centres\" - In this 2030 scenario rural area populations are partnered with government and universities to provide internships, entrepreneurship, exchanges and outplacements to youth, innovators and professional staff. These exchanges build knowledge in areas like funding for observatories, natural wildlife and climatic conditions research centres and events strategies for research festivals that ‘re-story’ inland culture. By also working with futurists, the psychology of the community is integrated into a 2030 vision, through the use of transformative local stories and metaphors.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Scenario analysis, to clarify preferred, disowned, integrated and outlier futures</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The above scenarios lead to <strong>preferred</strong> futures that change local culture significantly. They bring space saving vertical industry, energy saving renewable industry and science led research coupled with an interest in the environment. They also bring social inclusion helping people to connect at home and in their businesses.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>Disowned</strong> futures are of agriculture, manufacturing and heavy industry.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>Integrated</strong> futures scenarios would see the use of multi-purpose spaces where vertical farming and aqua-ponds are on one side of a shed/warehouse and the other would be dedicated to researching machine parts to create advanced manufacturing processes e.g. nanobot materials for self-healing of machinery and changes to autonomous electric tractors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>Outlier </strong>futures project ‘what if’ scenarios, that could quickly disrupt rural futures to 2030. They include global proposals to industrialise and occupy rural regions, planetary cooling as renewables take effect sending people inland to temperate areas, hyper-speed underground transport systems that take people directly to neighbouring cities at low cost, as global share market based industries target rebuilding rural areas as eco-village health and learning retreats.</span>\r\n\r\nTable 1 Integrated Scenario: 2030 Rural Futures\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.futuresplatform.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Scenarios_0.png\" alt=\"Integrated Scenario: 2030 Rural Futures\" width=\"796\" height=\"364\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"f57779e4-d41c-410a-b5e1-b829f89c6752\" />\r\n<h4></h4>\r\n<h4><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Benefits of using six pillars method</span></strong></h4>\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Through the creation of their own alternative 2030 visions with the given method, rural regions can generate greater happiness. Settlements can prevent the \'Midwest USA\' oversight by presenting 2030 Visions that create preferred futures at multiple internal and external levels - to be in tune with emerging issues, challenges and global cultures. To be sure, reciprocation is needed from the lionesque cities - but what counts, as they say, isn\'t the size of the lion in the fight, it is the size of the heart in the lion.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>Dr Colin Russo</strong> is an Australian futurist, facilitator, award-winning futures author and award-winning engagement expert.

We are a consulting firm based in Australia.</p>\r\nWe facilitate aspirational visions for people who hope to create a better world. We help people to explore essential and sustainable futures and to discover changes occurring in all systems. Dr. Russo, our Managing Director works with 10 domains constantly in flux and change: Social, economic, legislative, environmental, consumption, transport, futures, governance, polity and technology.\r\n\r\nIt is the transformational stories of ourselves and others that integrate - sometimes through negotiation and optimisation - to generate our possible and preferred futures. We create the preferred and alternative futures scenarios that offer innovation from which sustainability becomes more possible.\r\n\r\nWe bring many futures tools and methods to facilitate enquiry into what works and what should remain the same and what could be many generations better.\r\n\r\nOur pathway over the past ten years was influenced by great people, institutions and alternative ideas and actions. Engaging Futures has been inspired by working alongside leaders of organisations such as the United Nations, Australian and overseas universities, national, State and local governments, industry, commerce and community organisations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/2\"][info_circle edge_radius=\"180\" start_degree=\"90\" eg_padding=\"60\" icon_size=\"18\" img_icon_size=\"18\" icon_show=\"not-show\" content_bg=\"#101010\" content_color=\"#ffffff\" eg_br_style=\"solid\" eg_br_width=\"2\" eg_border_color=\"#dddddd\" auto_slide=\"on\" auto_slide_duration=\"5\" highlight_style=\"info-circle-pulse\" icon_launch=\"easeOutBounce\" icon_launch_duration=\"1\" icon_launch_delay=\"0.2\" responsive_breakpoint=\"800\"][info_circle_item info_title=\"Futures Methods and Tools\" info_icon=\"Defaults-home\" icon_bg_color=\"#101010\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"]Qualified in applying futures methods to issues, especially governance and strategic planning.[/info_circle_item][info_circle_item info_title=\"Delivered with flair\" info_icon=\"Defaults-user\" icon_bg_color=\"#101010\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"]All of our presentations and courses have excited and inspired our audiences[/info_circle_item][info_circle_item info_title=\"100% Ready\" info_icon=\"Defaults-cogs gears\" icon_bg_color=\"#101010\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"]We are 100% Ready to consult you and to help you transform, from A to Z[/info_circle_item][info_circle_item info_title=\"Award Winning\" info_icon=\"Defaults-group users\" icon_bg_color=\"#101010\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"]We are award-winning futures journal article authors and government projects award winners.[/info_circle_item][info_circle_item info_title=\"New Technology\" info_icon=\"Defaults-flask\" icon_bg_color=\"#101010\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"]Fantastic technological innovations can help but can also accelerate change.[/info_circle_item][info_circle_item info_title=\"New Solutions\" info_icon=\"Defaults-umbrella\" icon_bg_color=\"#101010\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"]How much better could your futures be with better strategies?[/info_circle_item][/info_circle][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=\".vc_custom_1481576227367{margin-top: 120px !important;margin-bottom: 60px !important;}\"][vc_column][ultimate_heading spacer=\"line_only\" line_height=\"40\" line_width=\"1\" spacer_margin=\"margin-bottom:40px;\"][/ultimate_heading][vc_custom_heading text=\"Our Vision\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:44px|text_align:center\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY, SUSTAINABILITY, JOBS WE LOVE?

This \'both-and\' perspective is especially useful in reconciling classical dichotimies such as agency (individuals can influence the future) and structure (structures define individuals and limit what is possible)\".</h6>\r\n<h6 style=\"text-align: left;\">- \"While globalisation has not suddenly developed a soft heart, the agenda now includes how we know the world and how these knowings are complicit in the disasters around us. This has led to calls to move from strategy as the defining metaphor of the world system [strategy as global structure] to health, or inner and outer balance\".</h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;</blockquote>\r\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\"30px\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/2\" el_class=\"wide-box-mobile\"][vc_single_image image=\"61\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"right\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row seperator_enable=\"seperator_enable_value\" seperator_type=\"triangle_svg_seperator\" seperator_position=\"bottom_seperator\" seperator_svg_height=\"60\" seperator_shape_background=\"#ffffff\" css=\".vc_custom_1481752768718{margin-bottom: 100px !important;padding-top: 120px !important;}\"][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=\"60px\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=\"bg_color\" bg_override=\"ex-full\" css=\".vc_custom_1481576396754{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}\" bg_color_value=\"#101010\"][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/2\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Our hope is that the pathway to the future will be brilliantly lit for the next generation, with the fullness of today\'s knowledge and wisdom.\" font_container=\"tag:p|font_size:15px|text_align:center|color:%23cecece|line_height:25px\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_empty_space height=\"10px\"][vc_btn title=\"CONTACT US\" style=\"outline-custom\" outline_custom_color=\"#ffffff\" outline_custom_hover_background=\"#ffffff\" outline_custom_hover_text=\"#101010\" shape=\"square\" size=\"xs\" align=\"center\" link=\"url:http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8888%2Fwordpress%2Fcontact-us%2F|title:Contact%20Us\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]', 'Engaging Futures Home', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '18-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-11-17 18:26:52', '2020-11-17 08:26:52', '', 18, 'http://localhost:8888/wordpress/2020/11/17/18-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),
