masterplan

Alternative form of master plan.

It has been suggested that Mikel Jollett formed the Airborne Toxic Event driven by a cunning masterplan that involved combining the best bits of the Strokes, Arcade Fire and the Killers, to catapult the band from suburban Los Angeles to global indie-rock domination.

The rail options in this first phase concentrate on developing major stations. Edinburgh Waverley's masterplan moves forward [...], and Transport Scotland will review capacity at Glasgow Central to find short-term ways of allowing longer and perhaps more frequent trains to run. A masterplan beckons too for Inverness, in line with long-standing local wishes.

To make a master plan of; to strategize.

I'm keen to discuss the extent to which masterplanning can manage and, perhaps, even forecast the future.
