The aim of the work was to deliver a step change in current knowledge and capacity for urban sustainability by illuminating challenging but realistic social and technical pathways for the systemic retrofitting of UK city-regions. The Urban Foresight Laboratory work package was led by Tim Dixon and explored the technological and social innovations that will underpin transition in the UK\u2019s cities, as well as investigating retrofit in the commercial sector. Urban foresight and backcasting techniques were used in the research.<\/p>\n<h3>Publications and outputs<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Eames, M.,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/centaur.reading.ac.uk\/view\/creators\/90004638.html\">Dixon, T.<\/a>,\u00a0Hunt, M.and\u00a0Lannon, S., eds.
