Journal Article
Bailey, R., Longhurst, J., Hayes, E. T., Hudson, L., Ragnarsdottir, K. V., & Thumim, J. (2012). Exploring a city's potential low carbon futures using Delphi methods: Some preliminary findings. Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 55(8), 1022-1046. https://doi.org/10.1080/09640568.2011.635192

This paper describes a Delphi methodology to generate a number of broadly consensual low carbon scenarios for 2050. This approach to 'creating' the future, rather than predicting, is useful when dealing with profound and uncertain change over a long...
