A collective futures experiment

What might Calgary look like in 2050? 2100?

Perhaps Calgary has whole-heartedly embraced climate resilience. In this future, the Calgary Tower’s central column is lined with greenery, and its iconic restaurant has been reimagined as a farm-to-table destination. The surrounding city is free of cars, as tree-lined pedestrian walkways weave between neighborhoods and all-electric transit systems move people throughout the city. 

But perhaps a different force shapes the future. Artificial intelligence. New energy systems. Population growth. Autonomous transportation. Economic transformation. 

The possibilities are endless. And that’s what we’re asking you to imagine.
In this Collective Futures Experiment, consider the forces that could shape Calgary's future and imagine how they might transform the Calgary Tower.

Share your idea below. Your vision will become an AI-generated image, then a short animation projected at the Calgary Futures Forum, October 26–27, 2026.
