About
UK Shared Business Services Ltd awarded a contract to The Forum for the Future for the Integrated Urban Futures System Project, a futures and engagement initiative.
The project examined possible trajectories of individual urban systems and their integration, identifying future opportunities and risks.
It involved expertise from the contracting organisation, Innovate UK staff, external experts, and citizen dialogue workshops.
The final output was a robust set of coherent futures showing where integration of urban systems has or hasn't worked, which systems can be integrated, and implications for resilience or instability, incorporating social analysis.
The contract value was £149,911.
