Wealth redefined as relational stewardship

The six groups responded to the lens of “intergenerational wealth” with a diverse range of future visions that redefine what should be valued across generations. From rethinking housing through cooperative ownership models to honoring the regenerative potential of human remains, each project questions dominant, extractive understandings of wealth by offering alternative realities grounded in social, cultural, and ecological responsibility. Some projects propose entirely new relational systems, such as land guardianship or AI interfaces that prioritize local knowledge and interpersonal connection. Others highlight the importance of heritage in food cultures well beyond nutritional survival, or celebrate instances of cultural misalignment as a source of social resilience. Collectively, the work demonstrates a clear shift from wealth as accumulation to wealth as stewardship, care, and relational continuity. They offer hopeful, new imaginations of what is truly valuable in the scope of intergenerational fairness.
