Between February 2009 and December 2010, we spoke to hundreds of people about the future. A few dozen of these people were nice enough to make predictions about the future.

Some of these predictions took the form of elaborate short stories, or intricate drawings or maps.

Click on their names to see what these participants submitted to the project. (Note: to see these predictions in context, click on "Timeline & findings", above.)

In 2053, Godzilla will attack Davis Square, destroying dozens of buildings.

In 2027, Somerville will take Inman Square from Cambridge. This will only be fair, since Cambridge has several busy business districts close to the T, and Somerville doesn't.

2016: Somerville becomes a Mecca for singles and especially college students, as families have left due to lack of educational opportunities for children.

---

2012: Tufts will expand and take over Somerville.
