What if your city could pick itself up and move? What if your community wasn’t tied to a street, a suburb, or even a country? What does it mean to belong somewhere, and does that somewhere need to be fixed? How might climate events change impact and what does this mean for the way we plan, scan and act today? These were some of the questions we explored at this month’s What if Wednesday.
Each month I host an informal gathering of people who want to grow their futures muscles! It is a way of meeting others interested in exploring ideas, and being curious. I like it to the idea of ‘future flossing’, where people intentionally dig into the dark corners of the brain to seek out plaque that might be building up or cementing ideas in place. ‘What if Wednesdays’ challenge us to remain open, to explore weak signals and to connect dots.
