My thesis project for my MDes Design Futures program, “Visions for the Future of Mobility” examines the future of mobility in the city of London by 2050, employing both qualitative and quantitative research to develop scenarios that address technological advancements and ecological imperatives. Four distinct scenarios were envisioned to explore a wide range of possible futures- each detailing a specific interplay between technological advancements and ecological imperatives.
This project aims to envision how Mobility products, services and infrastructures in each of these future scenarios might meet industrial design values, and fulfil future needs.
