Living Cities Earth is dedicated to a 100-year Thriving Cities Research Exploration Project, an ambitious initiative to understand and co-create pathways to thriving urban environments worldwide—bridging the flows of human development and organisation with the flows of Life.
The Future Leaders Project (FLP) is a vital component of this vision, offering researchers, universities, and research organisations a unique opportunity to observe, explore, and uncover how reimagining education, leadership, and community engagement can drive systemic urban transformation.
we invite you to partner with FLP and play a pivotal role in documenting and analysing the program’s impact
Together, we can generate transformative perspectives that not only illuminate the path forward but also inspire actionable change in how cities and communities evolve to address the challenges of the next century.
Investigate Personal Impact:
The Future Leaders Programme develops leadership, resilience, and emotional intelligence in youth, parents, and educators. As a researcher, you will assess how these capabilities empower individuals to contribute meaningfully to their communities, offering critical insights into the personal dimensions of urban thriving.
Explore Community Transformation:
FLP sparks change at the community level by embedding education within local contexts. Your research will document how FLP projects drive social, environmental, and economic growth, creating scalable models for sustainable community transformation.
Analyse Systemic Urban Change:
Aligned with the goals of the Thriving Cities Research Exploration Project, your studies will evaluate how FLP fosters systemic shifts in urban environments. By examining its impact on sustainability, civic engagement, and local governance, you will contribute to a global understanding of how cities can evolve into thriving ecosystems.
Advance Global Knowledge:
Your findings will influence global discussions on education, sustainability, and leadership, providing actionable perspectives that inspire policies, reshape educational systems, and inform the strategies of urban planners and policymakers.
Collaborate with a Global Network:
By joining FLP, you become part of an interdisciplinary network of researchers, educators, and changemakers working collectively to design thriving cities. This collaboration will enrich your research and provide a platform for amplifying its impact.
Align with Institutional ESG Gaols:
As a research partner, your involvement aligns with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) objectives, showcasing your commitment to advancing sustainable practices and equitable education on a global scale.
As part of this research initiative, you can:
- Collaborate with local universities in cities implementing FLP to conduct multi-dimensional studies.
- Focus on key areas of impact, personal development, community transformation, and urban systems change.
- Publish research that informs the 100-year Thriving Cities Exploration Project and shapes a long-term vision for sustainable, equitable urban living.
