It is the year 2050. What might Prague look like in the middle of the century?

The exhibition Five Faces of Tomorrow is based on a research project by the Global Change Research Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CzechGlobe), which aims to adapt internationally used socioeconomic development scenarios to the conditions of the Czech Republic. The exhibition panels offer six perspectives on the same location: the immediate surroundings of the Czech Academy of Sciences building on Národní třída in Prague. These scenarios present alternative stories of how society might evolve under different combinations of political decisions, economic changes, social activities, technological progress and responses to climate change. These are not predictions of the future, but an invitation to reflect on the kind of future we want to help shape.
