Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge 

 As an Urban planner , I work with a team of young professionals in planning for a sustainable urban   transformation in an overpopulated developing country . This was a major challenge because more   and more people keep migrating to the cities . The population density in cities increased   consumption , production and pollution . These activities created problems like air pollution ,   greenhouse gas emissions , waste , and poverty . 

 To achieve a successful sustainable urban transformation much emphasis is placed on structural   transformation by focusing on Governance and Planning , Innovation and Business , and Lifestyle   and Consumption . We are to develop policies for strategic planning quickly with a flexibility for   rapidly changing urban conditions , and also encourage symbiotic relationships among industries ,   governments , universities , and citizens to ensure sustainable management . 

 Selection 

 Our team decided to use the storytelling tool to appeal / connect the policy made for the strategic   urban planning to the values of our audience ( Industries , Governments , Universities , and Citizens ) .   Storytelling was also used to encourage our audience to act sustainably by outlining a pathway   towards a well - planned and more compact city that prioritizes people , provides a walkable urban   development scheme and approaches waste management sustainably . 

 Application 

 Coming up with these policies / strategies involved my team and I discussing future expectations of   urban transformation with several Industries , Governments , and Citizens . We explained to them   the goal of a sustainable city , how it provides people with high quality living environment without   using huge amounts of natural resources . We made our audience understand that our natural   resources are finite , and also understand the effects our consumption of these natural resources has   on the environment in the long run . We told stories about energy in sustainable cities , the reliance   on burning fossil fuels and how the installation of solar panels reduces energy use in buildings ,   this was done to encourage more energy efficient buildings . A sustainable city that offers high   quality life , consumes energy efficiently and produces energy from renewable sources . 

 We also told stories about creating other forms of transportation such as light rail networks , mass   transport , bus networks , making our audience understand that the way a city is planned influences   the ways in which people get around that city . We also shared stories addressing waste   management , the process of collecting , transporting and treating waste for proper disposal , reuse ,   recycling , composting , and energy generation . 

 Insight 

 We realized that achieving urban sustainable development meant addressing other important goals   of sustainability such as protecting biodiversity , reducing pollution , enabling equity and social   justice . 

 Approach 

 We created a list of agencies , industries , and governmental bodies that are directly and indirectly   involved in urban transformation that have a big influence on the planning of urban developments .   We reached out to these agencies , industries and governmental bodies , sat at a round table and sold   the challenge to them , spoke at length about the challenge and then presented them with possible   solutions .   A committee was then created to oversee urban developments . This committee is   responsible for strategic planning and policymaking concerning urban planning which centers   around urban infrastructure , urban mobility and Naturvation ( Nature Based Solutions ) .
