Living laboratories for sustainability : exploring the politics and epistemology of urban transition
(2011) p.126-141- Abstract
- Creating a more sustainable society is increasingly an urban challenge (Pincetl 2010). Upwards of 50 per cent of the world’s population currently dwell in cities, and this figure is forecast to rise dramatically over the coming decades (Grimm et al. 2008). Cities both concentrate the activities that produce carbon emissions, and suffer disproportionately from their negative impacts such as air pollution, temperature increases, water shortages and increased flooding. Given this, cities are increasingly being looked to as sites to develop long-lasting solutions to climate change (Hodson and Marvin 2007).
