“…Furthermore, the transforming scenarios (18/2011) are developing newer paths in 25 to 50 years predictions. Transforming scenarios unlock the envisioning space by adopting backcasting, which has the starting point in the future [76][77][78], and by adopting participatory planning, which in [79] also include immigrants; focus groups [76], Delphi, and interviews [80,81]. Despite the expansion of imaginative space in the form of human engagement and collaboration with stakeholders, there was no experimentation, visualization, artifacts usage, or immersions identified.…”

The Landscape of Envisioning and Speculative Design Methods for Sustainable Mobility Futures

Urban mobility is facing an increased long-term uncertainty and complexity generated by accelerated technological development. These challenges require radical advancement in planning processes and methods, which could enable breaking out of path dependencies and unlocking alternative, sustainable futures. In order to provide a landscape overview of foresight-focused methods used in the domain of urban mobility, we conduct a systematic literature review. An analytical framework for review is based on planning knowledge taxonomy, including dialectic between knowing how/what and knowing to what end and doing. Such framework formulation is aiming to assess methodological capacity for widening system boundary and holism (object-focus) as well as integration and imagination (process-focus). Results show that the overall trend of methodological development is emphasizing development in object or process-focus domain, but rarely both. In addition to this assessment, we conclude that methodological development should further reflect the moral and democratic dimension concerning public deliberation. Such development should aim to create spaces for shared discussion, reflection, and formation of alternative futures, while allowing spaces for agonistic contestation and conflicting opinions through radical, experimental, and experiential approaches.

“…As a step forward, it is perceived that social learning can be used to further strengthen the country's and stakeholders' capacities. In a setting involving different societal and administrative levels, this can effectively enhance resilience and allow for a more sustainable implementation of the planned measures (Evers et al, 2016(Evers et al, , 2018Watson et al, 2009;Weddfelt, Vaccari, & Tudor, 2016).…”

Current flood risk management practices in Ghana: Gaps and opportunities for improving resilience

This article evaluates the current gaps and describes opportunities for improving flood risk management (FRM) in Ghana, West Africa. A mixed-method participatory approach comprising questionnaires, workshops, interviews with key stakeholders, and a systematic literature review were employed. Existing problems, discourses, FRM practices, and opportunities to enhance flood resilience were identified. They provided the basis for outlining potential research directions into ways of tracking these challenges. The results show how different actors perceive FRM in Ghana. The stakeholders interviewed have different, and even contradictory perceptions of the effectiveness of FRM, which are embedded in their diverse storylines. The findings show that Ghana's FRM is still reactive rather than preventive and that research in the field of quantitative hazard and risk assessment is still rudimentary. FRM policies and flood early warning systems (FEWS) are in place, but efforts should be directed towards their implementation and monitoring, investigation of social and technical capacity aspects, and enhancement of institutions' mandates, and coordination. Moreover, the findings illustrate that FRM is moving toward a more constructive engagement of citizens and stakeholders. However, policies and action plans need to consider more inclusive community participation in planning and management to effectively improve their resilience and develop sustainable solutions.

“…Public sector organizations seem to suffer from the same bias toward short-termism. Weddfelt et al (2016) investigated the role of municipalities in managing environmental challenges in Sweden. They found differences in the way municipalities’ environmental visions were developed and implemented to address those challenges as well as in the concepts of an environmental strategy.…”

In this article, we tackle the lack of clarity in the conceptualization and substantive use of time in business sustainability research. We do so by means of an integrative review that synthesizes 172 papers published over the last 20 years across seven subject areas within business and management research. From our review, we developed a typology that highlights three primary categories that differentiate various conceptualizations and uses of time in business sustainability literature: (a) temporal resourcing, (b) temporal structuring, and (c) temporal prospecting for sustainability. The typology organizes a body of literature that remains scattered, provides conceptual clarity, and opens avenues for future empirical research and theorization in the space.
