Air Quality Emergency: Imagining an 18-Month Crisis
Manage episode 462757250 series 3606254
We use the Futures Wheel framework to explore a provocative scenario: What happens when toxic air becomes an 18-month reality? Our mapping of possible consequences reveals surprising cascading effects, from "clean air caravan communities" to digital twin homes that optimize for health. Drawing from current examples and real-world toxic events—we examine how this crisis could transform housing, work, and social structures. Through our collaborative exercise, we uncover complex interconnections between air, water, and food systems. The implications for equity and adaptation resonate with challenges we're already facing today.
