Personal exploration: intent

For the longest time in my life I have been reflecting a lot on ideas of sustainability of systems around us- what is the time-period of things to last and how do we live as communities, really fascinates me in terms of its "Soka" Values. (Soka means "Value creating" in japanese.) How might we understand soka values within the growing landscape of aspirational cities and communities. The rapid urbanization challenges and the rise in the number of people inhabiting cities of the world by 2030 is directly related to the cause of Global Warming and actions needed in the space of Sustainability as a whole.

Towards this challenge, I am using Systems Mapping and Scenarios as methods to explore how Artificial Intelligence in the industry of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN agenda of 2030 can help Manufacturers as well as Vulnerable groups with the idea of "taking everyone along". The rapid urbanization challenges in cities and irresponsible consumption and productions within growing communities of the world are affecting those who have not even created them.
