-==== Futuring: uncertainties ====
+===== Futuring =====
-Core question: What are the (environmental) critical uncertainties in the American South-West?
-Technique used to probe the question: [[:futurist_fieldguide/causal_layered_analysis|CLA]]
+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 Southwest?"// and used the [[:futurist_fieldguide/causal_layered_analysis|Causal Layered Analysis]] to probe this question. The result was a backstory of "Shadow Belmont", a speculative urban centre in Arizona in a parallel present or possible future.
+==== Layered uncertainties ====
+The three critical uncertainties identified by the participants were **heat**, **water** and **tech industry**. The tables below summarise the causes underlying each of the uncertainties, as well as possible alternatives specific to Shadow Belmont.
