"Vision is the work of our imagination, a resource that every single person is born with." Future Democracy Hub

"Futures work can help stretch our imagination by considering what is desirable, what is plausible, and what should be avoided."

"As one essay in the collection argues, it is better to think about the future than not; that in itself is democratising." Tom Symons, Nesta [1]
