 'For the first time in history, half the world is now urban.'
| GLIMPSES of tomorrow describes emerging social, economic and demographic trends. GLIMPSES provides a 'map' of recent trends to help people answer three questions: Where have we come from? Where are we going? What do we need to think about? Topics are grouped under the following headings:
 |
 » Ethnic identities: some expressions of ethnic identity have become increasingly radical
'Opinion polls since July 2005 suggest that 100,000 people in Britain think that the 7/7 bombings in London were justified.'
| Each topic is addressed in three parts: 'The story so far', 'The next 20 years' and 'Implications'. The material, which is focused on the UK, has been reviewed for quality by experts and will be regularly updated. It has been compiled mainly by Dr. Michael Moynagh at Templeton College, Oxford, and GLIMPSES is project managed by Richard Worsley.
Material is now available on all these topics. Searching/indexing facilities are being further developed.
The material can be approached in the following ways:
|
 » Media and Technology: how will the media change our lives?
'It will not be long before almost everything we do in the real world will be possible in a virtual one.'
|  |
 'The debate is no longer whether to act on climate change, but when and how'.

| What is the Tomorrow Project?
The Tomorrow Project is an independent, registered charity undertaking a programme of research, consultation and communication in Britain about people's lives – what's been happening so far, what will shape the years ahead, and what we need to think about.
The Tomorrow Project welcomes comments on GLIMPSES, which should be sent to richard.worsley2@btinternet.com. We cannot undertake to respond to all such comments, but they will be carefully taken into account in the updating of GLIMPSES.
From 2006, the Tomorrow Project has been operating an important partnership with the Economic and Social Research Council – click » here for details.
