Future Tales: Shaping City Planet Democracy

This fast-paced talk leaps to 2045, where Neighbors’ Assembly meet daily, every budget carries a carbon clause and policies must pass a "grandchildren test." We imagine the City-Planet: a worldwide mesh of future-ready cities that trade ideas, share risk and legislate together in real time. 

Through story and data, you'll glimpse participatory democracy evolving from ballot boxes to an always-on civic engine—the missing infrastructure for climate resilience and social cohesion. Expect unexpected questions, practical sparks and the challenge to put your street on a global map of Cities-Planet.
