| Abstract: | The papers selected for this special issue reflect three of the underlying themes outlined above in this introduction: Technology is a fundamental driver of economic development and, if put into the appropriate socioeconomic context, holds the promise of significant and sustained economic and ultimately truly sustainable development; Planning as a function to secure or at least to promote a (set of) desirable future(s) is fairly universal, so experience from the private sector can be generalized and used to inform and improve the quality of planning in the public sector; Foresighting is a deliberative and participatory process that originated in scenario planning but which has nowadays a much broader and more diverse application. |
