title: Toward an integrated science and sociotecture of intentional change.
abstract: 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 sociotecture. 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.
