About My Project


My project aims to visualise future urban policy scenarios through generative AI and foresight methodology to encourage more experimental policymaking. By simulating immersive experiences of possible futures resulting from policy initiatives, I want to provide people, and especially policymakers, with tangible and innovative tools to experience the possible impact of policies and improve civic engagement mechanisms.

Having worked in the field of EU policy beforehand, I noticed how policymakers often lack tangible evidence to make well-informed decisions based on the impact that their decisions could have. I saw the generative AI boom as a real opportunity to bring more innovative foresight tools to policymaking as AI can help us imagine scenarios that we can't fathom on our own. Such immersive experiences of possible future urban scenarios could also help policymakers gather feedback from civil society and encourage more civic participation by making policy scenarios more accessible to the wider public.

My project aims to embody a forward-thinking approach to governance, one that values innovation, inclusivity, and the collective imagination in shaping the cities of tomorrow. It’s a bold step towards a future where technology empowers democracy and fosters a deeper connection between policymakers and the communities they serve.

The sage embodies wisdom. Its role is to offer insights, guide decisions, and remind us of the bigger picture. It’s the voice of reason and experience.

The explorer embodies curiosity, courage, and a thirst for discovery. By selecting this personality, you acknowledge the project’s adventurous spirit. 

The magician generates scenarios and visualizes possibilities with artificial intelligence, which inherently holds a magical. The magician’s charm lies in its ability to transform data into insights.

The everyman is relatable. With this personality, my project isn’t just for experts; it’s for everyone. It speaks in everyday language, making policy scenarios accessible to all.

The creator envisions cities not as mere structures but as living, breathing ecosystems.  Its personality lies in the balance between imagination and practicality—the mortar that binds innovation to reality.

The project’s voice is a well-annotated textbook. It explains, elucidates, and educates. It doesn’t assume prior knowledge; it lays out the facts. Whether describing urban trends or AI algorithms, it strives for clarity. It’s the friendly professor who simplifies complex concepts. It doesn’t gossip; it presents data. It doesn’t speculate; it analyzes. Its professionalism commands attention. The voice sprinkles its sentences with tech jargon, not to impress but to stay relevant. It’s the cool kid at the policy hackathon. When presenting scenarios, it’s transparent about assumptions and uncertainties. It’s reliable and honest.

Stakeholder Radar

Mapping and engaging with stakeholders is crucial to access resources and incorporate diverse perspectives, ultimately enhancing project legitimacy and impact. By involving stakeholders early on, I will build strong partnerships to hopefully gather enough support for my project to thrive. Drawing on my EU policy background and existing connections in this sphere, I've selected stakeholders across sectors:

Government stakeholders will be key as the target audience of my project is policymakers. I plan to leverage my already existing relationships in this sector to test different iterations of my project and adapt it to the sector's needs. Engaging with the public sector als ensures policy alignment and funding opportunities. Research collaboration enriches the project with cutting-edge insights. Partnerships with industry leaders provide expertise and sponsorship opportunities. Involvement of civil society ensures ethical considerations are taken into account. Engagement with community platforms fosters grassroots participation. Collaboration with artists adds a creative dimension, reaching broader audiences. Media partnerships amplify project visibility. Investor engagement provides crucial financial support.

Strategic engagement with these different types of audiences will help me spark meaningful discussions on more innovative foresight tools for policymaking.

Communication Matrix

Due to its intersectionality, my project demands a nuanced approach to communication, and I believe the matrix captures this requirement effectively. Customising my messages to address the distinct needs and barriers of each group, from government bodies and academia to businesses and civic organisations. It's about crafting messages that inform, persuade, and motivate each unique audience.

The selection of media channels reflects my understanding of the modern media landscape and my commitment to meeting stakeholders where they engage most. Leveraging a mix of professional networks and visually-oriented social platforms can maximize the impact of the project's innovative visual tools.

The matrix reflects my desire for collaboration, suggesting that the project's success lies in part in gaining visibility, accessing research, and pooling technical expertise. This collaborative ethos is crucial, as it positions stakeholders not just as an audience but as participants in shaping urban policy.
