Indeed, for centuries universities had been elite education institutes for the elite in two respects:(i) only the elite of a given age cohort was offered higher education;
largely unchanged universities would push hard to maintain their centuries-old monopoly to validate knowledge; yet, a number of other organisations e g. think tanks, private research organisations, private nonprofit research organisations, government laboratories, consultancy firms, patient organisations, various NGOS, trade associations and interest groups
In the UK, there had been major scenario work on strategies for developing a competitive edge in nanotechnology and literature/expert surveying of social issues associated with this field, in the early years of the present century.
It has been only since the middle of the Twentieth Century, that a long, slow running unease with the assumption that all science and technology were‘good things
century and its full development during the twentieth century, one of the key concerns of urban planning has been to foresee the future and limit uncertainty.
In the second half of the twentieth century, urban planning abandoned its visionary origins and became more technocratic,

Innovation in the 21st century differs from the model embraced in the last century (i e. profit-oriented
the development of scenario practice as a methodology for planning and decision-making probably started more than half a century ago in the field of war game analysis. The Rand Corporation in the US became a major center for scenario thinking and Herman Kahn,
In the case of nanotechnology, a variety of FTA ACTIVITIES have been in use over the last quarter of a century to structure the field itself
