Potentials for lifestyle-based planning with the community development game "Tsumugu, Vision, Match -imagine the future vision!"

The game's features and possibilities through some case studies

Abstract

This report summarizes the features of the community development game ”Tsumugu, Vision, Match -imagine the future vision!" developed by the “Research Group for the City Future through Lifestyles”, a special committee of the Kansai Branch of the City Planning Institute of Japan, and the features and possibilities verified through several practical examples. By combining trend cards given at random, we have confirmed the possibility of imagining the new lifestyle of the future beyond the existing common sense and the urban space scene mainstreamed by such lifestyles. The results indicated the possibility of using this method for vision-driven and backcast planning to acquire the desired local lifestyles, rather than the conventional problem-solving method.
