Futures Canvas

Challenge by CCCB

How might we envision a more harmonious, well sounding city?

What is a Challenge?

At Futures Canvas, it's all about Challenges. These are collaborative quests on big and small questions about the future that spark collective thinking and action. Behind each Challenge is an organization or individual responsible for organizing it. Learn more about the background of a Challenge under "Challenge Info" on the Challenge page.

The Interactive Future Survey

Every Challenge on Futures Canvas starts with an interactive survey. The aim is to create future scenarios based on the Challenge's question. This happens as participants submit their opinions on possible future developments and rate the opinions of others. With the help of Artificial Intelligence, different future scenarios are created in real-time as a summary of all the rated opinions.

How can I participate in the Interactive Future Survey?

You can take part in the interactive survey by rating the opinions of other participants and submitting your own opinion(s). Future scenarios are created in real-time from the contributions of all participants.

The Idea Competition

Following the survey, some Challenges have an Idea Competition. Here, action ideas related to the future scenarios are collectively designed and voted on publicly to determine the best ideas.

How can I participate in the Idea Competition?

You can participate in the Idea Competition by voting on ideas submitted by others and submitting your own idea(s). All submitted ideas are published on the Challenge page.

Sound is an often forgotten dimension of a city but has deep interconnections with many aspects of urban life: from health to biodiversity to new forms of mobility. Most of us remain somewhat alienated from the noises and soundscapes of our urban infrastructures. Reconnecting with and intervening in the acoustic fabric of the city helps us to better understand urban dynamics and can improve living conditions for both humans and non-humans alike.

In 2040, citizens have learned to listen. The saturation of signifiers in visual space has led to an exodus of citizen's attention from visual to sound space. Ears tuned into and revealed the city's neglected soundscape, leading to acoustic ecological movements for democratisation of the sonic city

In 2040 the prevalence of electric vehicles, whose silent nature poses a greater risk to pedestrians, has triggered creativity in the design of distinctive, customised, sometimes amusing sounds for vehicle horns, which are an important part of today's urban soundscape.
