Future Days Webinar today; my redesigned website; being named Thinkers360 Top Voices Latin America
Hi👋 If you're new here, *welcome*. I'm Lydia and I work with foresight strategy, currently freelancing with public and private sectors from my homes in Brazil and Portugal.
Reminder: FUTURE DAYS FESTIVAL | March 21-23, 2024
I am interviewing Portugal's Ex-Minister of Culture and founder of Because Impacts Graça Fonseca today! To watch, confirm attendance, add the event to your calendar and return to the LinkedIn event page at the time (6pm GMT).
This is part of Future Days, which is the incredible actionable futures festival I am co-founding💥
Future Days’ first annual edition will happen on 21-23 March 2024, in Lisbon, and the theme is ‘democratizing futures’, with diversity and sustainability at the core.
This is a festival for innovation-seekers, purpose-driven organizations & governments, creative thinkers, citizens, urbanists, and policy-makers to collectively create the futures of urban lives, equitable societies, and creativity in the age of AI.

January was for… Redesigning my website!
I cleaned things out so that my strategy, policy, foresight and DEI work could come forward 💚 I'm no designer but I think it turned out alright 🤗
✨A TANGIBLE RESULT OF MY CONSULTANCY WORK IS IN✨: New York City’s first all-electric skyscraper🔌🏙️ nears completion in Brooklyn
I’m happy to say I am a part of making this happen through foresight and research⚡️
“Soaring forty-four stories above the rapidly growing neighborhood of Downtown Brooklyn, an all-electric skyscraper at 505 State Street symbolizes future-forward innovation in New York City. With today’s host of climate concerns informing both designs and regulations, the residential tower will operate without the use of fossil fuel on-site, embodying an optimistic step toward environmental sustainability and reduced carbon emissions. […] Alloy Development has announced the launch of leasing for the 441 apartments of 505 State Street, 45 of which will be income restricted. […] Smart home technology is integrated so that residents will be able to optimize their energy consumption through their smartphone. The building also opens out to generous green spaces and recreational areas to further bring nature-minded living into the dense and growing neighborhood."
