-Core question: What are the (environmental) critical uncertainties in the American South-West? +A futurecrafting experiment conducted in November 2017. We started from the current conditions and environmental challenges in the region. We asked, //"What are the (environmental) critical uncertainties in the American South-West?"// and used the [[:futurist_fieldguide/causal_layered_analysis|Causal Layered Analysis]] to probe this question. The three critical uncertainties identified by the participants were **heat**, **water** and **tech industry**. The three tables below summarise the causes underlying each of the uncertainties, as well as possible alternatives specific to a speculative "Shadow Belmont" - a parallel present or possible future of an urban centre in Arizona.
