The book presents the incredible wealth of insights gathered through hundreds of interviews and questionnaires. Four key domains--local energy systems, local green spaces, local water systems and local labour markets--have been the focus of the field research investigating local potentials for social innovation and new forms of civil society self-organisation. Examining the potential of new organizational frameworks like co-operatives, multi-stakeholder constructions, local-regional partnerships and networks for the success of such transitions, this book presents the key ingredients of a sustainable urban community as a viable concept to address current global financial, environmental and social challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrucial reading for academics and practitioners of urban planning and sustainability in Europe, \u003ci\u003eCities in Transition\u003c\/i\u003e is an innovative roadmap for sustainability in changing cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Sauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138923877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138923874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Thomas Sauer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447857688831,"sku":"9781138923874","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d8ae7bf-c75d-48ff-81d9-3da9c2e82180.jpg?v=1777235280","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cities-in-transition-thomas-sauer-9781138923874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
