Decision-makers at all levels are being confronted with novel
complexities and uncertainties and face long-term challenges which
require foresight about long-term future prospects, assumptions,
and strategies. This book explores how foresight studies can be
systematically undertaken and used in this context. It explicates
why and how methods like horizon scanning, scenario planning, and
roadmapping should be applied when dealing with high levels of
uncertainty. The scope of the book moves beyond "narrow" technology
foresight, towards addressing systemic interrelations between
social, technological, economic, environmental, and political
systems. Applications of foresight tools to such fields as energy,
cities, health, transportation, education, and sustainability are
considered as well as enabling technologies including nano-, bio-,
and information technologies and cognitive sciences. The approaches
will be illustrated with specific actual cases.
