STRATEGIC FORESIGHT & PLANNING

Project Type:- Sustainable Urban Transportation

University of Waterloo

Developed a comprehensive 2050 mobility scenario by evaluating current transportation systems, identifying sustainability challenges, and designing a phased transition pathway toward low-carbon, safe, and equitable mobility. 

• Integrated mobility culture theory, sustainable mobility trends, narrative construction, and global best practices to justify a strategic transformation aligned with long-term urban goals.
• Analyzed the city’s current mobility system and established baseline sustainability indicators.
• Developed a 2050 vision integrating transit expansion, active mobility, electrification, pricing tools, and land-use changes.
• Designed a phased change pathway showing how proposed interventions interact to shift the city.
• Created a narrative vignette illustrating the daily mobility experience of residents in 2050.

Building Resilient Communities

University of Waterloo

In response to the devastating wildfires that swept through Los Angeles County in early 2025, resulting in an estimated $250–275 billion in damages and economic losses, our interdisciplinary team at the University of Waterloo conducted a systems-based analysis to examine the built environment’s and community infrastructure’s vulnerability to wildfires. 

Leveraging systems thinking and mapping, and archetype analysis, we:

• Identified key feedback loops influencing fire risk, resilience, and recovery.
• Mapped leverage points within urban planning, building design, and policy frameworks.
• Exposed solution gaps to provide a future-focused, systems-level framework to guide more proactive, adaptive, inclusive, and climate-resilient strategies.
