Future Game Of London

[Gladys Anick]

TheDesign Future London challenge is to design a solution around a built environment opportunity in your local area using the resources provided including Minecraft Education.

Through the challenge, you will find out about the different career opportunities available in the built environment sector, experience new things and learn different skills in a creative and collaborative way.

This year, all entries to this challenge will feed into the conversation that is happening right now on a future review of the London Plan. This is a long-term plan prepared by the Mayor of London that touches on all areas that relate to the design and growth of our city. We look forward to receiving your ideas on the future priorities for our city.

The Design Future London challenge seeks to encourage a greater diversity of young Londoners to enter the built environment sector (covering planning, architecture, urban design, surveying, property, real estate management and construction).

In addition to responding creatively to the design brief that is set, the previous competitions have shown that the challenge helps students develop soft skills that are transferrable across subject areas, learn about career opportunities in the built environment sector, and grow in self-belief.

This challenge encourages young Londoners to learn more about their local area. Think about what it already offers. What might be missing? How it can be improved? How do you see it evolving or being improved in the future for the community?

For example, in a six to eight week period, you might include between one and two guided learning hours with one or two independent learning hours per week. It will depend on your students and time availability.

We welcome teams from youth groups, faith groups or youth charities. Individuals that want to take part are welcome too. All participants must be in the age range of 5-24+ even if they're not in full-time education.

Design Future London uses London's future growth and design to inspire young people to develop their confidence and skills. These include team working, communication, project and time management, plus analytical, research, creative, numeracy and literacy skills.

We create impact by convening innovative collaborations to drive change, by partnering with organisations to help them lead by example, and by building a global community of pioneers and change makers.

We partner with progressive corporate leaders, NGOs, government agencies and foundations to create groundbreaking strategies designed to deliver sustainable outcomes. We also coach them on creating truly systemic change beyond their own boundaries.

We convene collaborative projects that bring together people representing parts of the same system to address sustainability issues. We help them diagnose the system, identify key intervention points, and work together to deliver shared goals.

Many of our fundamental systems are no longer fit for purpose. Forum uses systems approaches to understand the web of interrelations that create complex problems, anticipate unintended consequences, and identify how and where to take action. Read more

This report showcases the ideas of our early careers members, recent graduates and school leavers, alongside our leaders in London as they reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing the city today.

London, with its kaleidoscope of cultures, rich history and diverse communities is truly unique. It is a place that many call home and is also a global centre of trade, commerce, innovation and culture. But what does the future hold for the city of London? What should London look like in the next 100 years and who should be involved in shaping it?

The vast city of Future London has many winding streets and paths. Much of the city is under construction in an industrial revolution of sorts. Large gears and pipes appear near almost every street corner and building. There are very tall buildings in Future London visible but unable to venture off into. Many of the streets seem unexplainably cramped and hastily put together.

Midland Road is located in Baldwin, even in the future. Baldwin is on the west side of London. The streets on this side of the city seem to be far more industrial than other sections of London in the future. The Clock Shop in the future includes a very tall tower that seems to be so tall that the roof isn't even visible.Anita, a local resident, owns a fifty year old caf along the road that caters to a few regular customers in the area. At the southernmost area of Midland Road is an old and derelict bus stop. It is clear to many who walk by that it is no longer in service.

Along the southern side of Future London is Southern Street, obviously. It is here one of the two entrances to the arcade is. The Arcade is a long path with a beautiful glass roof with domes. The arcade has a restaurant owned by Paillard and other local shops that cannot be accessed. Along Southern Street, Hotel Duke can be found. This large hotel caters to the majority of travelers apparently. The hotel is used as a safehouse for Layton and co. At the end of the road Flatstone Street is found.

Flatstone Street is a long and straight street located in the middle area of Future London. At the southern area of this street houses a circular plaza with one of the many underground railway paths. Using this railway grants access to Green Hospital on Auckland Lane and Chinatown later on. To the west of this plaza a park can be found. This path can be used to go into Midland Road a lot faster than Southern Street.

At the northern most area of Flatstone Street one can find the Gilded Seven Casino. The casino itself is a glamorous building with lights and has a slot machine-esque look to it. This casino is used by the Family to make hundreds and hundreds of pounds each day. To the right on the way here one can find themselves on the way into Chinatown.

Auckland Lane is located in southern Future London. In the game, it is only accessible via a subway tunnel. It is the home of a large hospital called Green Hospital. This hospital is where Layton and Luke confront the Dr. Andrew Schrader of the future, who is later revealed to be Don Paolo in disguise. Natalia, a nurse working at the hospital, is also here. The Laytonmobile, later revealed to actually be a replica, is found, destroyed and rotten, outside of the hospital in an alley by a dumpster. Dr. Schrader, in the future, owns the automobile and tells them where it is. Green Hospital isn't in the game for much else.

and behind the casino. Before the alley is a statue of a local hero who resembles Layton in many ways. Past the alleyway is a steep hill that goes along the River Thames. This area is apparently a rabbit named Subject 3's turf. The area houses a large restaurant by the name of the Thames Arms. The Thames Arms is a major location in the game. A lighthouse can be seen on the other side of the River Thames. Under this lighthouse is Clive's secret weapon, the Mobile Fortress. On this side of the river as well, is a giant research facility used by Dimitri Allen and the other scientists he has kidnapped. The facility is and was used for dangerous and horrendous experiments. This facility is where Layton and Luke go to look for Dimitri after he escaped the towering pagoda. The path that leads into Chinatown then leads into a dark forest-like area. Here, later on in the game, Pavel is found. After a long hill upward, the black market of Future London is found. It is in this area that the main gate and entrance to Chinatown is also found.

one takes the cake. Chinatown, located on the northeast side of Future London, is a large village with many shops and homes. The shops and important buildings found within Chinatown are the Toy Shop, Pet Shop, Puzzle Shack, Bookstore, and a noodle shop.

Chinatown also is the home to many citizens of Future London. A subway station can also be found in the northern part of Scarlet Street. Along the eastern part of Azure Avenue, Puzzlette's Puzzle Palace can be seen. It is here Beasly's job is replaced with Puzzlette, granddaughter of Granny Riddleton.

On the northern-most area of Chinatown, The Family's headquarters, the Towering Pagoda, is found. In front of the pagoda are many warehouses used for a variety of reasons whether it be the stores, The Family, or just storage. The pagoda itself is a towering structure designed from early Chinese building designs. The large tower houses some of the highest ranking family goons as well as Future Layton, himself. It is here that Layton confronts the so-called Future Layton who reveals himself to be Dimitri Allen in disguise. He later escapes to wherever and then Layton and co. barely escape and search the city for Dimitri.

It turns out that Future London was actually built inside a vast cavern located under the real London. It was built by Clive in order to carry out his revenge on Bill Hawks and Dimitri Allen. He used the wealth from his foster mother, Constance Dove, to build the vast city. The Clock Shop on Midland Road was actually an elevator that carried people to and from the two Londons; the Research Facility across the Thames was where Dimitri Allen worked on the Time Machine he wanted to use to save Claire; and in the depths of the River Thames was where the Mobile Fortress was hidden. When Clive began his revenge--destroying most of London--Inspector Chelmey, Barton, and the Clock Shop's employees can be seen getting all of the residents evacuated.
