SymbioCity Scenarios is based on information and facts from numerous interviews, newspapers, reports, and brochures published by Swedish and International organizations working to improve sustainable development within cities all around the world.
Experts within areas of sustainable development representing some of these organizations have served as a steering committee throughout the development of SymbioCity Scenarios. (See list of organizations)
The game simulates some aspects of reality but does not serve as a perfect model of the real world. The game has limitations and many elements have been simplified to facilitate game play.
SymbioCity Scenarios is built on Swedish and international experience, and encourages you to form your own plan taking your local conditions into consideration.
