WaterCity 2040 is a multi-stakeholder scenario planning initiative.

Launched in September 2014 this initiative will bring together community and decision makers to:
- Collaborate, envision and design plausible futures
- Identify the necessary steps to create these futures

WaterCity 2040 will activate the knowledge, creativity and skills of young professionals as they work alongside current decision-makers to co-develop a 25-year water vision.

Each city will focus on innovative ways to interact with, use, capture and reuse water, weather change impacts and adaptation, application and implementation of low-impact design, the protection and restoration of urban waterways and outline new policies to move cities towards a sustainable future. Using Waterlution’s facilitation processes, we will guide each city to develop action reports that will be made public and shared with decision-makers.

This is a first-of-its kind open and cross-sector consultation with Canadians in urban centres to design the future they want for their city, while considering possible futures, factors, shocks and trends and how resilience could be built towards these. This opportunity merges innovative ideas, design thinking and social change around topics of water (quality and quantity), environment, health, and sustainability challenges.

About scenario planning:
Scenarios are stories about what could happen in the future. Scenario planning allows for community and decision makers to work with possible futures to influence the actual future by offering plausible, relevant, clear and comprehensive stories that can be extremely useful in conversations between stakeholders. Waterlution will work on bringing diverse stakeholders into the process.
