SHIFTS propels you into the future of Scotland's Central Belt and gives you a glimpse into the year 2057. Imagine the transformation of the M8 into a major tourist attraction running through Scotland's Central Forest. Imagine the creation of a new canal connecting the west and the east coast, wide enough to carry a floating opera house or a football stadium.

Imagine the life that is faster and slower at the same time, a life that is healthier, greener and more fun. Imagine that SHIFTS have happened.
