Notes: Four Futures, One Choice, a free e-book that is published in December 2020. It presents four future scenarios for what the Britain might look like in 2040, depending on the choices we make today. Hinging on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the age demographics of the UK, it explores issues of uncertainty and resilience when developing an inclusive, equal, digitally enabled post-COVID built environment, and what actions government, individuals and organisations can take to ensure the future scenario they want.
