Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="normal"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>We heartily agree with the target article and focus on how positive sociocultural change can be accelerated through the systematic use of scenario planning – what we call <italic>sociotecture</italic>. Scenario planning is a design process for the creation and selection of symbotypes that make a positive difference. It cuts through complexity by integrating cognitive and affective processes across multiple scales.</p> </abstract>
