Oakland 2100: A Game About the Future of Oakland


What do we want for the future of downtown Oakland? What should our city look like? And how do we get there?

Hosted by East Bay AIA, the exhibition Oakland 2100: A Game About the Future of Oakland invites the community to come together to learn, discuss, and collectively envision the future of downtown Oakland, together. The exhibition will provide opportunities to engage with future scenarios for our city through a large-scale interactive model, programming, and creative concepts. Bring your insights, curiosity, and imagination and join the conversation.

Oakland 2100 is a game where people work together to imagine the future of downtown Oakland. Players navigate trade-offs, prioritize and place investments and engage other players in the type of negotiations that happen in the building of cities every day. During the game, players leverage the power of art, design, and play to shape a vision of Oakland that is built by and for Oaklanders, while learning about the complexities that exist in long-range planning, design, development, and financing.

Brought to you by East Bay AIA, the exhibition Oakland 2100: A Game About the Future of Oakland will be open from September 18th-October 4th 2019 and will feature creative programming and events brought to you by the Oakland 2100 team, East Bay AIA, and Urban Field Studio.
