Led by Professor Malcolm Eames at Cardiff University, the Retrofit 2050 scenario process addresses on of the project’s key objectives: to articulate and appraise city-region specific visions and prospective pathways for retrofitting the built environment. To do this, the scenario process has comprised:
- A set of workshops with national experts to characterise a retrofit transition, looking at past transitions in the built environment, the current retrofit problematic, and visions of a future retrofit city
- Workshops with regional stakeholders to touch down these visions in real life contexts, developing regional visions and exploring key milestones and issues that will arise in processes of transition
