abstract: Normative future visioning (NFV) offers a critical approach that can respond to the
challenges of transformative adaptation. 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.
