Territorial Attractiveness: What if the future depended on Water, Cold and Silence?

Sylvain Tesson already wrote it in 2011: "Cold, silence and solitude are states that will be traded tomorrow for more than gold. On an overpopulated, overheated, noisy Earth, a forest cabin is the eldorado."

In the forests of Siberia.

This phrase should resonate with every human being, but for territories, this prophecy becomes a strategy. If we replace solitude with water, we obtain the triptych of tomorrow's livability.

Since creating my Attractiveness Canvas in 2018, I have been analyzing attractiveness beyond the triangular framework of Economic, Social, and Environmental factors.

Today, these three criteria are shifting from the status of "data" to that of sustainable luxury:

- Water: From consumption to wisdom. Attractiveness is no longer measured by abundance, but by the ability to preserve this vital resource.

- Cold: It symbolizes sobriety and resilience. In a warming world, coolness becomes a key component of safety and public health.

- Silence: Faced with digital and urban noise, calm becomes a monetary value, an indicator of Quality of Life and respect for humanity.

This is a strategic shift: from the race for "always more" to the appreciation of what is essential.

I am launching a series of 3 posts to analyze the impact of each of these pillars on our territorial strategies with the aim of developing the Attractiveness Canvas into a new version.

Which of these factors do you think will be the most critical for attractiveness in 2030?
