Futures thinking is an expanding interdisciplinary field which is seen as a key element of transitioning towards a more sustainable planet and society. Developing fairer futuring is increasingly urgent in the context of the radical reconfiguration of current systems needed to meet complex global sustainability challenges. However, explicit consideration of uneven power and participation and the nature-society relations that feature in contemporary futuring processes has been given little explicit attention to date. This deficit is addressed in this paper through a critical review of dominant futuring approaches and outlining insights from critical perspectives which (a) identify limitations of current futuring approaches and (b) provide important perspectives to help shape fairer futuring in geographical research.
未来思考是一个不断扩展的跨学科领域，被视为迈向更可持续的地球和社会转型的关键要素。在应对复杂的全球可持续发展挑战所需的当前系统进行彻底重构的背景下，发展更公平的未来规划变得越来越紧迫。然而，迄今为止，当代未来规划过程中所呈现的权力和参与不均衡以及自然与社会关系等问题，尚未得到明确关注。本文通过对主流未来规划方法的批判性回顾以及概述批判性视角的见解来解决这一不足，这些见解（a）指出当前未来规划方法的局限性，（b）提供重要视角，以帮助在地理研究中塑造更公平的未来规划。
