Futurescapes Cities of Empowerment

"Stories entertain, but they can also shape the course and direction of human progress. Futurescapes: Cities of Empowerment does both. It is more than just a collection of engaging tales. It is also a roadmap to steer communities away from negative futures and towards positive ones. By featuring powerful solutions (as well as their potential unintended consequences) embedded in poignant, humorous, and exciting stories, our authors explore the many ways cities might empower all residents--regardless of their circumstances--to become super citizens, deeply engaged in the governance of the cities they call home."--Page 4 of cover.
