Arup’s Cities Alive workshop cards communicate 100 issues that cities will face in the future. The cards are designed to help stakeholders at all levels — citizens, planners and officials — prioritize and explore issues that will shape the future of their city and explore the notion of city vitality thinking.
Possible workshop settings for using the cards include: trends and implications brainstorms, developing city stories of the future and collaborative design charrettes. Depending on the aim of the exercise, the cards can inform design processes, aid the identification of challenges, support the review of strategic plans and initiate new ideas for urban intervention.
