What each slide does
- 01CoverThe call for change as the title, a line under it, and a drawn skyline across the bottom of the slide with trees and a strip of the accent.
- 02We believeFive beliefs as numbered lines in heavy type, key words in the accent.
- 03TodayHow things are today, drawn as a cross-section with its parts labelled, and under it one bar showing the share of space each use gets.
- 04Space per personSpace each person takes, by how they travel: squares drawn to scale side by side, an icon inside each, the area and the mode under it.
- 05A street's dayA day on the street as a radial clock: hours around the circle, one group as bars pointing out in the accent, another as bars pointing in in grey; beside it, what the picture shows.
- 06How people arriveHow people arrive as figures: one hundred small people coloured by how they came, and beside it the shares.
- 07The cost of nowWhat staying as we are costs, as three tiles: an icon, a large number, what it is and where it comes from.
- 08It has been donePlaces that already did it as small multiples: a small native line chart for each, its name, the year it changed and the result.
- 09The visionThe same place redrawn as it could be, in the same cross-section as today, and under it the new share of space.
- 10A day in 2032A day in the future along one drawn street: trees, people and bikes, an arc across the sky, and moments placed along it with their time.
- 11PrinciplesDesign principles as five tall cards: an icon in a circle, a number, a short name and one line.
- 12The planThe plan on a map: zones as rings in tints of the accent, the ring road, car parks at the edges marked, labels on each zone; beside it, the phases.
- 13But what about…Objections people raise, each card with the objection on a shaded band and the answer under it, the key fact in the accent.
- 14BusinessThe effect on business as a native line chart over time, with the key number and its source beside it.
- 15Who gainsWho gains and who gives something up, as bars that go right for a gain and left for a loss from a centre line, one row per group.
- 16VoicesThree people in their own words: a portrait place each, their quote and who they are.
- 17Cost and fundingThe cost and where the money comes from, as a native doughnut chart with the total and a key.
- 18How we'll knowHow success will be measured: tiles with today's value struck through, the target large, a bar of progress and the date.
- 19In one lineOne sentence that sums up the case, with who said it.
- 20DecideThe call to decide: one large sentence with the key word in the accent, and three outlined boxes with what is asked.
- 21Free layoutA free slide: only the header, title and footer, the body empty. Design it for content no other layout fits.
- 22Next stepsWhat happens after the decision, as dated steps.
- 23ContactsWho to talk to: two people with role, email and phone.
- 24SourcesAppendix detail: each number in the case, its value and source.
What makes it work
- Open with a few beliefs in plain words, not with data.
- Draw today as it is, and the future as it could be, in the same picture.
- Turn every key number into something people can see: squares, figures, a clock.
- Show places that already did it, with their results.
- Name the objections yourself and answer each one.
- End with exactly what you ask people to decide, and by when.
