which three spatial scenarios were set out for the horizon 2030 (European foresight Platform, 20115).

Despite the well-deserved interest and merit of the previous references, specialized literature still shows a substantial divorce between the scope and content of foresight exercises and the specific needs of urban planning.
A perusal of the various websites specifically devoted to foresight studies (European foresight Platform, Forlearn Online Guide (n d.)and Millennium Project (n d.))shows that most scenarios exercises conclude with a description of the geopolitical, economic, societal and technological contexts.
