  7. 5. Making Futures : On Targets, Measures and Governance in Backcasting and Planning

    Författare :Josefin Wangel; Örjan Svane; Lars Nilsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; futures studies; backcasting; planning; governance; sustainable development;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is about the making of futures – in the sense of planning, through which the world of tomorrow is crafted, and in the sense of images of the future, developed through the futures studies approach of backcasting.
