See into the future

Welcome to our regular series of strategic foresight briefings with DINs Futurist in Residence, Tracey Follows, CEO, Futuremade.

As we enter the Post-election, post-truth, post-peace era, what can we expect next and how can we use the trends to help us navigate the future? We'll look at some of the social and cultural changes that will affect public services, societal needs and our changing values, as well as economic and geo-political trends that could be taking us into a whole new world of insecurity. What does it all mean for the housing sector? Come along and find out!
