Timing Progress description
July 2023

The final draft of the report is ready, and a decision on the next steps will be made in September.

January 2023 The report writing and submission are scheduled for April 2023.
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.
