I’ve been following ARUP’s Drivers of Change research programme for years. It’s been itemizing the big trends that are likely to influence business and government in the decades to come. The trends are described in a set of index-sized cards. I own both editions (2006 and 2009). Last year, ARUP created another set of cards about the issues affecting urban governance; issues falling under the themes urban mobility, smart energy, and sustainable buildings. Tell your mayor that it’s a free download.
