What if the cities we’re building today could speak back to us—from the future? In this immersive, speculative talk, urban designer and foresight strategist Rutwik Karra explores how identity is lost in an increasingly homogenized world of design—and what we can learn from imagined futures. Through storytelling, visuals, and public imagination, we’ll trace the forces flattening our cities and pivot toward aesthetics of survival, place, and renewal. This session invites attendees to listen and create speculative feedback from tomorrow—and respond with ideas for a more diverse, human-centered future.
