This Mesh We're In : Futures of Infrastructure
"This Mesh We're In – Futures of Infrastructure" This publication, This Mesh We're In: Futures of Infrastructure, is a strategic foresight project by Media Evolution and DigIT Hub Sweden. The initiative explores the possible futures of infrastructure in Southern Sweden by 2050 through collaborative discussions among 23 experts from various fields such as urban planning, technology, and environmental sciences. Over several sessions, participants analyzed societal and technological trends, resulting in four speculative scenarios that address critical questions about how digital, physical, and natural infrastructures may evolve in response to shifting economic, environmental, and social conditions. Through storytelling and scenario analysis, the book examines how current infrastructure decisions shape future living conditions, emphasizing sustainable, resilient, and inclusive practices. It highlights both challenges and opportunities presented by emerging technologies, climate change, and resource scarcity. Key Learning Points: Infrastructure as the "Invisible Backbone" of Society: Infrastructure, often unnoticed unless it fails, significantly shapes daily life and societal functioning. This includes not just physical infrastructure like roads and buildings but also digital and social systems that sustain communities. Sustainability and Circularity: Future infrastructures need to prioritize resource conservation and circular economies. Communities may become self-sufficient in energy production and waste management, with significant reductions in resource consumption. Technological Transformation and AI Governance: Emerging technologies, especially AI, are projected to take on more significant roles in governance, potentially leading to debates about autonomy and responsibility. AI might streamline infrastructure management but also raise questions about ethical governance and data privacy. Decentralized and Local Solutions: Southern Sweden's communities are increasingly expected to rely on local, decentralized ...
