The British Council with the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) and Urbis1 began developing the Future City Game during 2006. The starting point for partners was the need to develop a process which stimulated creative thinking whilst also generating new ideas for city development. For CLES specifically, interest in the Game stemmed from a belief that traditional disciplines and policy-making surrounding corporate planning, regeneration, land-use planning and economic development could sometimes become bogged down with everyday constraints and bureaucracy. In contrast to this traditional approach, the Game offers a structured but enjoyable means of generating future thinking and new ideas.
