      You nailed it Nam. Both.

      Sorry I didn't elaborate.

      Btw, The Art of the Long View was reading from a Scenario Planning seminar taught by Michael Speaks at SCI-Arc years ago. A revised edition could be in order, but still very well worth the read.

      This isn't a design based program.

      Though it is within the School of Architecture, the program is Real Estate Development which has everything to do with Economics.
      I've chose to focus on sustainable development as part of my dissertation.
