What can one know about the future? What is futures research? And what is its object of analysis in this research? In this short presentation, we will introduce approaches to deal with these questions and relate them to problems that we encounter in our practice with future-oriented, urban planning workshops aiming for bringing together multiple stakeholders in the setting of participatory modeling.
