In the context of climate crisis, an understanding of the diversity of desired end-states and pathways for good urban futures is fundamental to fostering cooperation and inspiring purposeful action that can challenge and transform unsustainable processes and behaviours, and researching these processes. This paper contributes to transformative adaptation and climate resilient development by conceptualising NFV as a critical pedagogy. This framing understands NFV as a collective learning experience that can lead to emancipation and transformative action. A novel Encounter–Change Framework is proposed as a general mechanism for evaluating NFV methods. The framework is tested through the Tomorrow’s Cities project across its NFV deployment in nine cities: Quito, Istanbul, Nairobi, Kathmandu, Rapti, Nablus, Dar es Salaam, Cox’s Bazar and Chattogram. General lessons highlight the importance for NFV evaluation of analysing both methodological detail and its positioning within wider policy and planning processes. Detailed empirical findings reveal key lessons and challenges that emerge from practice – related to time, ethics, co-production, diversity, consensus, equity and authorship. These inform both NFV and other participatory experiences that aim at transformation. date: 2024-03-20 date_type: published publisher: Ubiquity Press, Ltd. official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/bc.385 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2262891 doi: 10.5334/bc.385 lyricists_name: Pelling, Mark lyricists_id: MPELL53 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Buildings and Cities volume: 5 number: 1 pagerange: 83-100 issn: 2632-6655 citation: Comelli, Thaisa; Pelling, Mark; Hope, Max; Ensor, Jonathan; Filippi, Maria Evangelina; Menteşe, Emin Yahya; McCloskey, John; (2024) Normative future visioning: a critical pedagogy for transformative adaptation.
