ANTICIPATORY GOVERNANCE AND FORESIGHT: A STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW AND IMPLICATIONS FOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT

The following chapter outlines the main principles of anticipatory governance and foresight alongside their implications for urban development. Besides the broad context and evolution of these terms, this chapter also observes and concisely discusses future research directions as well as actions. The main obstacle and challenge for this analysis is bridging the gap in the research literature between anticipatory governance practices and smart city concepts. Although both approaches are widely recognised, anticipatory governance and foresight methods are often overlooked in favour of the preferred Smart City concept. The proposed solutions for overcoming the mentioned gaps, which would lead to more foresight studies, include scenario-building studies within higher-education and public institutions, followed by building and testing the impact indicators to measure anticipatory governance benefits. As the research for this book was conducted within higher-education institutions, the authors propose developing a scenario-exploration foresight system for urban development among graduate students at the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism in Split, Croatia.
