Future Cities and Foresight in Urban Planning

How can cities prepare for various potential impacts of climate change? What measures can coastal cities take to adjust to sea level rise? If the earth becomes uninhabitable, how can we build affordable buildings and habitats in space? 

These are some of the questions FutureTales Lab, a futures research centre set up by the Thailand-based property developer MQDC, investigates in order to design sustainable urban environments for future generations. In this webinar, we’re joined by Dr. Karndee Leopairote, Executive Vice President at FutureTales Lab, to discuss how they use foresight to explore a wide range of future scenarios and build future-ready strategies.
