Integrating Social Practice Theory into Participatory Backcasting for Sustainable Urban Transport Transitions
This paper demonstrates how social practice theory can enhance the visioning phase of transport backcasting studies. Future research could explore the cross-cultural applicability of these practice-based scenarios in diverse urban environments.
How does the integration of social practice theory improve the effectiveness of participatory backcasting in transport planning?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
It remains useful to test whether practice-based scenarios lead to higher stakeholder commitment compared to traditional technology-focused scenarios.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
This research offers a more nuanced approach to policy design by focusing on everyday social practices rather than just technological solutions.
