What Does It Mean To Think 50 Years Ahead?

Most policy ends at the next election cycle; few initiatives plan for the next century. But true societal progress demands an intergenerational lens. Japan, Finland, and Singapore lead with policies that project not just to 2030, but 2050 and beyond.

Key Principles

  • Resilience through foresight: Planning for unknowns, not only knowns.

  • Universal design: Structures and cities built for adaptability across generations.

Evidence

  • OECD's Future of Society report: Countries with 30+ year plans show higher stability and life satisfaction by 17%.
