Gaining a better understanding of the changes
- global or local -
which have a retroactive effect on the territory and deducing from
that understanding
the issues for public action are the
basic
principles
of
any competitive territory.
Foresight
is a privileged process for any society attentive to its
development, and it seeks to give the territories – and the
people
who live there – a vision serving strategic action,
and thus a project.
The questions of the mastery of knowledge,
of
the appropriation by the
players and
of
the
will of
public action are among the dimensions,
at
the heart of any territorial foresight exercise,
which a very large
quantity of diverse methods are striving to grapple with.
By way of introduction, this round table will lay the foundations
and the uses of foresight,
applied to territorial development in the
framework of its relation to strategic action as an instrument to
support decision-making. This involvement with the subject by the
global relevance of foresight will be carried out by a mixed panel
of practitioners and experts, public and private alike. |
