Accelerating sustainable housing transitions
The high-performance window industry in Australia requires deliberate efforts to accelerate the transition. • Analysis of niche-regime-system dynamics through the Multi-Level Perspective and lock-in mechanisms reveals complex social, political, and techo-economic relations and path dependency. • Research with the niche industry and sustainable housing system identifies an integrated set of multi-dimensional, multi-relational interventions. • The …
Developing a capabilities-based low carbon transition framework
Low carbon dwelling improvements combine upgrades to thermal envelopes and appliances with renewable energy systems. Despite proven cost-effective options for emissions reductions and quality of life enhancements, widespread adoption remains elusive. Instead, such projects are often isolated, with uneven distribution across locations, housing contexts and socio-economic groups. Many literature and stakeholder-informed models of upscaling low carb…
The agency of change
First among equals
The advantages and challenges of integration of climate change and disaster risk management have been widely studied from the perspective of governance, funding, policy, and project design. However, there is a lack of research examining (a) how collaboration within public administrations unfolds in situations where Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change (DRM-CC) integrated policies are implemented, and (b) the implications on the ground. In …

Tracing the ruptures and rhythms of summer heat, energy vulnerability and home
This paper traces the rhythms and ruptures of summer heat-at-home, revealing unexplored spatiotemporal dimensions of energy and heat vulnerability in the context of climate change. The paper draws on relational and embodied ideas about heat, home, and time. It applies rhythmanalysis and assemblage thinking to empirical research with households across Victoria, Australia, to reveal social practices of coping with, adapting to, and enduring summer …
Recognition justice in Australia
In the context of recognition as a key principle of energy justice, this study explores the role of trusted intermediaries in recognising and identifying hidden energy vulnerability. Hidden energy vulnerability is the propensity of households to experience harm from energy deprivation because their situation is not captured by common indicators of energy poverty or because they do not request help. Previous research has focused on data-driven, sy…
High-rise plastic
Plastic is a persistent problem in westernised cities. Yet it is also a key mediator, affording and assisting the everyday. In small apartments, it supports daily life by assisting with waste management, storage, and provisioning of affordable ornaments and furniture. Plastic, in this context, is a mundane and utilitarian substrate to apartment life, as well as being a problematic potential pollutant. Recognising the diverse contributions to rese…

Spatio-temporalities of convenience eating for sustainability outcomes at an inner-urban university
This article addresses questions about sustainability outcomes and the convenience-oriented eating practices that tend to dominate some urban universities and that are largely associated with intensive resource and energy consumption. Instead of considering food consumption on campus as a product of individual behaviours and choices (commonly the normative frame for provisioning of eating sociospatial infrastructures), we use social practice theo…
Housing Industry Transitions
Urban housing experiments test real-world applications of sustainable, liveable, affordable and innovative developments. However, there is limited evidence of how they influence the wider building regime through the facilitation of new shared experiences, networks and relations. This paper explores the influence of a government-led demonstration project in Melbourne, Australia. Interviews with 14 key industry stakeholders reveal that, while some …
Retrofit Poverty
Framed in the concept of distributional justice, retrofit poverty may be understood as the inequality of opportunity to improve the energy performance of the home. Retrofitting existing homes may have substantial carbon-mitigation and cost-saving potential. Retrofit subsidies may increase energy improvement activities, raise awareness and lever market offers. However, there is concern about inequitable outcomes. This quantitative study used publi…
Sustainability Citizenship in Cities
The spaces of work that built the dominant modernity in Westernised societies of the Global North in the twentieth century are changing (Dale and Burrell 2008). Many once-foundational jobs have been resigned to the past, are in short supply or have been dispatched offshore. In rhetoric, if not reality, a new spirit of entrepreneurialism has emerged to fill the void. The current political dictum of ‘doing more with less’ posits the notion that com…

Ordinary vertical urbanisms
In many new world cities, inner city apartment development proceeds at unprecedented rates. In dominant urban planning and property development discourses, new inner city dwellers are consumption-orientated young professionals and "empty nesters"-all similarly childless. Nonetheless, families make their homes in city apartments, and their experiences are not well understood. Meanwhile, within urban and political geography, new interest in vertica…

Transition to low carbon? An analysis of socio-technical change in housing renovation
Across the westernised world, concerns about climate change and resource scarcity point to the need for widescale changes in housing renovation. Through the exploration of social interactions of eco-renovation businesses on the ground, the paper presents evidence for the emergence of an ‘eco-renovation niche’ consisting of both traditional and new types of housing industry businesses. However, this niche is not clearly bounded, stable or homogeno…

Green Renovations
Undertaking home renovation is complex and traumatic, but remains a ubiquitous phenomenon. Home renovators wishing to reduce their environmental impact encounter added layers of complexity. Increasingly, opportunities to improve a dwelling’s performance present themselves in the course of home renovations, giving rise to “green renovations”. Policy makers encourage green renovations through market mechanisms and rational response incentives. Yet …

Routes of Reuse of Second-hand Goods in Melbourne Households
While various Australian state governments have set targets for the reduction of waste to landfill, the emphasis to date has been placed mainly on the development of bulk materials recycling industries than on other strategies for waste reduction such as the reuse of second-hand goods. Many second-hand channels are informal and do not involve market transactions, making it difficult to collect information that could identify patterns. In this pap…
