Future Travel Foresight Catalyst: Phase 2
To better understand the future of travel behavior and demand there is an urgent need for initiatives that intentionally blur the lines between research, development, and knowledge mobilization, in order to catalyze new thinking and ideas while revealing novel and potentially transforming pathways forward. By partnering with initiatives that include the Arizona State University (ASU) Future of Being Human initiative and the ASU Risk Innovation Nexus, and by drawing on leading expertise at the forefront of responsive and innovative knowledge mobilization, the Future Travel Foresight Catalyst project will uniquely extend understanding around the future of travel behavior and demand through exploring and expanding on emerging ideas across a number of public-facing platforms and modalities. Phase one of this project started early in 2024 and focused on capacity building. The second phase of the project will focus on building and applying foresight catalyst approaches that will best serve travel behavior and demand (TBD) while integrating with parallel initiatives within the ASU Future of Being Human initiative and elsewhere. This will include developing strategies for foresight-based knowledge mobilization that include leveraging public articles, podcasts, and video, while also developing unique and impactful platforms. It will include developing networks within TBD and beyond that provide effective conduits for ideas and insights to flow between researchers and external stakeholders. In this phase, articles and other media products will be produced in collaboration with the ASU Future of Being Human initiative that are integral to the project’s role within TBD as a foresight catalyst.
