After the city leaves, whose share is the remaining infrastructure

2123The deep futureDeadline · within 18 months for the infrastructure handover

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

In a city most people have moved out of, some residents who still want to live there remain. Maintaining infrastructure jointly means departed residents also share costs; handing it to those who stayed means it is unknown whether they can carry it. Among joint operation, handover, and living alternatives the stakeholder has agreed to, what promise should be carried on?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Keep joint operation of the existing base

    It continues the lives of those who stay, but residents who left keep sharing the costs of both sites.

  2. Option 2

    Transfer assets and operation to the remaining community

    It establishes the autonomy of those who remain, but the burden of upkeep capacity and major repairs concentrates on them.

  3. Option 3

    Switch to living alternatives the stakeholder has agreed to

    It finds a way to cut the cost of dual operation, but that may not match the wish to stay in place.

The situation as it stands

After the assumed long-term relocation, most residents live at the new site, but some want to keep living at the existing location. Decision deadline: within 18 months, before the transfer of infrastructure.

Year 2123 future synthetic case · After the city moves to a new site, the base of the last residents is left behind. The events, figures, technology, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the question, not predictions of what is coming or facts observed.

  1. Premise 1After the assumed long-term relocation, most residents live at the new site, but some want to keep living at the existing location.
  2. Premise 2The cost of keeping the existing base for a small population falls on the funds of the relocated residents as well.
  3. Premise 3If everything is transferred to those who stay, autonomy is created, but it is unknown whether they have enough capacity to bear it alone.

What does the promise to leave a place to return to require?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
