RECENT WORK AND NEWS

How does your community plan for uncertainty and complexity?

Scenario planning is an approach to planning that puts uncertainties at the heart of the planning process, prompting the community to examine key variables like climate change, uncertain growth trends, and evolving housing preferences. Cascadia Partners is working with the City of Flagstaff and Coconino County Arizona to incorporate scenario planning in their Regional Plan for 2045.

Over the course of 2023, we engaged the Flagstaff community in both exploratory and normative scenario planning, using games, surveys, open houses, and community conversations to gather information to create a set of potential scenarios for future growth in the region. We recently kicked off our next round of engagement, where the public will choose a preferred growth scenario.
