Engaging The Future: Forecasts, Scenarios, Plans, And Projects
Ebooks To Download

Engaging the future successfully will require the active participation of planners, community leaders, and many individuals, as well as the contributions of students and scholars of planning. To shape any number of possible futures, we must imagine them in advance and understand how they might emerge. Forecasts, scenarios, plans, and projects are four ways of representing, manipulating, and assessing ideas about the future. The chapters in this richly illustrated volume offer a variety of tools and examples to help planners advocate for a new kind of planning—one that allows communities to face uncertain and malleable futures with continuous and deliberative planning activities.

I don't like the way it is written. I think it's just the style, not a reflection on the author though a few of my peer agreed with me
