ENVISIONING COMMUNITY ALTERNATIVE FUTURES
Alternative Futuring is a process that
enables a community to reach its desired vision for the future
by defining what landscape qualities are important and playing
out alternative land management strategies based on a set of
values, conditions and policies. The process reveals
consequences of certain actions and guides the results to
express your community’s vision true to its desired form – a
livable landscape for the future. |

We do this using a combination of state-of-the-art land use change and landscape process simulation models, a variety of indicators spanning economic, social, and environment dimension of landscape change, and GIS-based visualizations tools, working directly with you and your stakeholders to provide highly customized, place-based representations depicting consequences of alternate policy and management choices. We can work with you during all phases of the process - from managing/assisting in the stakeholder engagement process, to providing the technical expertise to formulate and generate alternative future scenarios, to working with you and your stakeholders to understand, visualize and interpret results. We emphasize flexibility and offer the best technical tools and skills in the market today, to help ensure a smooth and successful outcome to your community visioning processes.
