Abstract: This article applies a rather creative method, that is the Literary Method of Urban Design, to forecast the futures of three Argentinian cities: Tigre, Buenos Aires, and Mendoza. As per the Method’s proposed processes, these futures are uncovered through the speculative help of key literary works of fiction. These works of fiction are: Leopoldo Lugones’ Strange Forces, José Mármol’s Amalia, and Antonio di Benedetto’s Animal World. Using scenario art (in the form of graphic illustration of a cityscape), the study envisions how these cities might evolve in the far future in response to shifting social problems, politics and technologies. The Literary Method of Urban Design assumes that literature serves as a keen and nuanced speculative tool, revealing (potentially) how urban futures can be shaped by narratives both good and bad, positive and negative.
