ABOUT US

Cities are not just built.
They are designed choices that shape how people live, move, and connect.

Scenario Issue is an urban storytelling and spatial intelligence platform that examines how design, infrastructure, and policy impact everyday life in our cities — with a strong focus on Jakarta and rapidly growing urban regions in Indonesia.

We believe that many urban problems are not accidental.
Congestion, flooding, shrinking public spaces, and social inequality are often the result of long-term planning decisions that prioritize vehicles, short-term development, and fragmented solutions over people and ecological systems.

Through data-driven analysis, visual future scenarios, and critical urban narratives, Scenario Issue translates complex urban challenges into stories the public can understand — and strategies that institutions can act on.

Our work sits at the intersection of:

• Urban research and policy insight

• Architecture and spatial design thinking

• Public storytelling and visual communication

We don’t simply critique cities.
We explore alternative futures.

From reimagining transportation systems and waterfront living to questioning development models that shape Jakarta today, Scenario Issue acts as both an independent urban watchdog and a strategic partner for organizations seeking more resilient, people-centered cities.
