Brief Analysis of Scenario Narrative

Key Themes: People and environment must cohabitate. Human activity is directly connected to its effects on nature and vice versa (to hurt one is to hurt another). Citizens take responsibility for the well-being of the city, which in turn defines their well-being. Smart decisions come from a system’s approach which involves citizens knowing their government, their future, their past, and the basic resources the environment can provide for them. Innovation, economic prosperity, and social cohesion come with “green” stewardship.

Preoccupations: The overcrowded city depletes natural resources and can lead to scarcity of food, water, and other necessities. An aging population can be costlier than that with a diversity of ages. Food supplies of the future may lack the necessary nutrients to keep a population healthy. In step with the previous point, places to grow food may not be plentiful, limiting the supply. Climate change is a slow effect; its effects are devastating if not acted proactively. Dense development is essential to ease the heat-island effect.

Major stakeholders: Citizens of the city (present generation), citizens of the city (future generation), government officials, business corporations, mother nature.
