Emerging technologies, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic are making it essential for planners to incorporate uncertainty into long-range plans. In addition, many communities are turning to scenario planning to consider more transformative futures with greater sustainability, equity, and resilience. Drawing on my recent book, Scenario Planning for Cities and Regions: Managing and Envisioning Uncertain Futures, this event will feature a brief overview of scenario planning concepts, introduce case study examples, and open a conversation about how scenario planning can be used to address the planning challenges of today.
