Moonshot thinking
The Radical Dreaming Session brings together multidisciplinary project teams made up of residents, municipal officials, innovators, social scientists, academics and artists. Based on the Moonshot Thinking method, the participants of the session look for a way to radically solve a chosen problem using a breakthrough technology. The first stage of Moonshot Thinking is to select predefined challenges and develop a vision for each of them (dreams). In the next stage, fundamental changes or situations are identified, whose emergence clearly influenced the developed vision of the city/district in the future (shift cards). In Gdańsk, we used this method to develop 37 cards related to different areas of challenges: social, ecological, technological, etc. They are so universal that they can be used to work on the future of neighbourhoods in other cities (you can download theset of cards below together with the Gdańsk of the Future report). The final stage of the radical city dreaming session is to work on methods, solutions and technologies that will make the vision come true – thus generating bold ideas on how to solve important long-term challenges for the city.
