“…We were only able to find eight studies focused on CE futures. In addition, we found three studies in which CE is mentioned in only one futures image (Heinonen & Karjalainen, 2019;Mont et al, 2014;Svenfelt et al, 2019). Furthermore, we can conclude that CE futures is a fairly new field; in our review, the first study was published in 2014, and almost half appeared in the 2020s.…”

Our complex world is changing at such a pace that we are struggling to address many of the global challenges ahead of us. As one of its symptoms, hybridisation means that fields, functions, characteristics and roles are increasingly combined and fused. This paper is an opening to the study of hybridisation, as an overlooked topic in the field of futures studies and foresight. We explore how hybridisation could be integrated into foresight through identification and interpretation of emerging issues and weak signals. As our case study, we examined how hybridisation manifests in the urban texture. We performed an anticipatory analysis of three hybrid urban spaces of pioneering architecture. We assumed a view to hybridity that considered diverse futures, images of the future, and open futures to detect what is opening or closing. Coming to terms with hybridisation and its expressions may inform action on anticipatory governance by improving the detection of opportunities, risks and crises. Deeper understanding of budding developments that removes ambiguity may be a nudge towards novel solutions and promote futures resilience.

“…Several projects were made to search the future of transport and the societal prerequisites of a low-carbon transport system, mainly the interest being in both technical improvement in vehicles and changes in the modal split from passenger cars toward increased public transport and soft modes (Nygrén et al 2012; Tapio 2002; Varho and Tapio 2013; Varho et al 2014). Closely related to transport issues are the studies on urban forms, livelihoods and lifestyles (Heinonen 2013b; Heinonen and Minkkinen 2016; Heinonen, Parkkinen, et al 2017) and the studies on futures of freight logistics (Liimatainen et al 2014; Nurmi et al 2012).…”

The purpose of this article is to review the futures studies activities performed in Finland, focusing especially on Finland Futures Research Centre (FFRC). The activities include research, education as well as societal interaction and networking. The FFRC has proceeded from a small unit of three devoted persons in 1992 to one of the key futures research institutes in Europe with about fifty staff members, hundreds of research and developmental projects, and more than a thousand publications. Although acknowledging the variety of futures studies topics and approaches nourished by the researchers, we conclude that facilitating expert-based and stakeholder-based futures studies processes is the key competence of the FFRC. Hybrid methods are continuously developed, meaning combinations of more specific techniques. A proper mix of tools and approaches to gather, analyze, organize, and interpret data is always searched for. At the end of the article, we present four scenarios of the future of the FFRC jointly made by the staff.
