Exploratory Scenario Planning (XSP): Tools for Facing Uncertain Futures

Latin American cities and territories face increasing uncertainty associated with climate change, demographic transformations, and institutional challenges. In this context, traditional planning is insufficient to anticipate and respond strategically to possible futures.

The course “Exploratory Scenario Planning (XSP): Tools for Facing Uncertain Futures” offers a theoretical and practical introduction to foresight and the exploratory scenario planning (XSP) methodology, emphasizing its application in urban and regional planning processes in Latin America.

By identifying driving forces, and, building contrasting scenarios, and analyzing their strategic implications, participants will develop skills to structure uncertainty, explore alternative futures, and strengthen decision-making in complex contexts.

The course combines conceptual foundations, case analysis, and practical exercises, including scenario building, the identification of robust and contingent strategies, and the design of participatory processes based on XSP.
