If we want to get there – we need to EVOLVE.
EVOLVE
EVOLVE is a collaborative initiative hosted by Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, where we through Futures Thinking and Foresight build capabilities to enable individuals and organisations to imagine, work with, and shape the future.
The aim of EVOLVE to further the understanding and exploration of urban futures at the local, regional, national, and global levels to inspire action and agency to act today to build a better future for ourselves, society, and the planet.
THE LAB
The lab will organise yearly sessions to facilitate knowledge sharing, foster collaboration, and engage with stakeholders from the public, private, and civic sectors. Together we will explore the ever-changing trends that shape city life and addressing the implications and challenges that follows. We delve into topics ranging from the future of urban living to citizens participation and urban governance to regenerative cities, to the impact of AI on planning and urban development.
VISION
Our ambitions are, in collaboration, to conduct interdisciplinary research projects to explore emerging trends and generate evidence-based insights on the cities of tomorrow to contribute to urban development, innovation, and policymaking today. With time we hope that the lab provides a space for prototyping and testing urban innovations and solutions to move towards an inclusive and regenerative future.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
EVOLVE serves as a collaborative space and platform for everyone interested in contributing to the next step in the transformation of our cities and envisioning, prototyping, and exploring urban futures.
