| July 2021 | The outcome of the scenario analysis is four different yet powerful scenarios. Scenarios are data-driven stories about the future to make better decisions about the future today. It is an attempt to use a structured approach to envision possible futures and propose theories about future possibilities. These scenarios are not predictions of the most likely future city, but tools to help shape our plans and objectives towards the challenges that may arise. With these scenarios in mind, we can strengthen our resolve and prepare better to achieve our objectives. |
