MI’s strategic scenario design is a bespoke and data-integrated scenario planning service that helps to explore alternate trajectories affecting urban liveability.
The rapid pace of urbanisation in many cities has led to a significant disconnect between public policy interventions and urban planning developments. Consequently, many cities are unprepared for the urban challenges of the 21st century. This is especially true in developing cities where governments must manage a plethora of economic, social, and environmental challenges with limited resources. MI can help plan for a better future by developing scenarios and foresight that bridge the policy-planning divide with actionable insights.
MI’s approach to scenario planning marries quantitative research with participatory scenario building. This methodology scrutinises perceived trends and their uncertainties against empirical data, weeding out biases and fostering stakeholder consensus. With urban system policies stress-tested within these robust scenarios, cities are better poised to begin the journey towards more resiliency and liveability.
Scenario planning for urban resilience visualises potential futures of cities, identifying challenges and opportunities in an urbanising landscape.

In our complex and ever-shifting global landscape, policies risk becoming obsolete before their effects can even be felt. It is therefore crucial to ensure urban policies can effectively improve present liveability outcomes, while accounting for and remaining adaptive to future challenges. MI can assist governments in two distinct ways: by addressing specific public policy challenges or by developing overarching scenarios against which urban policies can be assessed for resilience.
MI’s methodology combines rigorous quantitative research with participatory scenario planning. By comparing perceptions against data, we eliminate biases and ensure a comprehensive alignment with key stakeholders. As a result, our scenarios ensure policies are not only robust and forward-looking, but also enjoy broad consensus, ensuring effective implementation and enduring relevance.
