This book proposes to integrate two related, yet separate, bodies of knowledge: spatial planning and future studies. The authors show how planners can incorporate innovative approaches and methodologies from future studies, such as strategic foresight and scenario building, to navigate pathways forsustainable cities and regions. This includes envisioning both preferred and undesirable future economic, ecological and social interdependencies across scales to strategically address cross-temporal, space-based challenges and opportunities. Case studies emphasize the importance of designing flexible approaches and show how these insights can be translated in practice into policy, actionable projects, and adaptive mechanisms.
