Between February 2009 and December 2010, we spoke to hundreds of people about the future. A few dozen of these people were nice enough to make predictions about the future.

Some of these predictions took the form of elaborate short stories, or intricate drawings or maps.

Click on their names to see what these participants submitted to the project. (Note: to see these predictions in context, click on "Timeline & findings", above.)

Class 4 Hurricane Igor strikes in 2045. Significant loss of life and property.

Drainage problems in 2050. Significant loss of water quality. Low lying apartments and businesses along the Mystic are abandoned or rebuilt. Assembly Square Mall abandoned.

1 meter rise in sea level by 2070.
