This chapter builds on the work reported in Chapters 2 and 3. It is the only one in this collection to explicitly address the ‘wickedness’ of societal problems – as highlighted in Chapter 1. Kusumanto et al. evaluate the appropriateness of ACM as a tool to address them. The authors first outline the increasing severity of Jakarta’s flooding problem, showing its links to rising sea levels, climate change, high and growing population densities, and upriver forest and land use change. They then build on Kusumanto’s long-term experiential involvement in the Jambi site, combining that with the diverse set of knowledges of her co-authors, including the more technical angle, extracting elements of both that seem applicable, and identifying likely challenges as they conduct a ‘thought experiment’.
