Andrew Dana Hudson in conversation with Jacob Kuppermann Cities What If The Best Times Are Still To Come? Our survival on this planet depends on creating nimble responses to accelerating scales, scopes, and speeds of change. By creating containers for collective imagination of what the future can bring, speculative futures helps us create those responses together.
