Case study: What can our generation of the Commonwealth do now to make our cities more inclusive and safe by 2030?

This game event was held on 24th August 2017 by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health for students on the Commonwealth Leadership Programme. The Glasgow Game was used to explore the question: ‘What can our generation of the Commonwealth do now to make our cities more inclusive and safe by 2030?’

The Glasgow Game is based on the World Game, developed by the International Futures Forum, and is an interactive way for a group to engage in a conversation about the important issues facing Glasgow and to create recommendations regarding future actions to address challenges. 

Using data describing the city and its people from the Understanding Glasgow website, participants explored the question by looking at current trends in the city, identifying possible shocks to the system (e.g. a recession, welfare reform, a fuel crisis) and what the key concerns arising from these shocks would be.
