Regional sustainability transitions: Lessons from a comparative study of circular economy experiences in North Humberside, England and Styria, Austria
The regional scale provides an important focus of research into the geographies of sustainability transitions. To date, this debate has been separate from research into the potential of a circular economy to drive sustainable economic development at the regional scale. Both literatures recognise the importance of collaboration between policymakers and industry, with network-building feasible at the regional scale seen as favourable for developing…
Wirtschaftsgeographien der Nachhaltigkeit
In der Humangeographie ist die Beschäftigung mit Nachhaltigkeit von zentraler Bedeutung. Die Frage, wie die sozialökologische Transformation in Zeiten von Klimawandel, Ressourcenknappheit und Biodiversitätsverlust möglich ist, bestimmt maßgeblich die Ausrichtung des Fachs und schlägt sich auch in den Lehrplänen der Hochschule nieder. Dieser wachsenden Relevanz begegnen Julia Affolderbach und Christian Schulz mit einem Lehrbuch neuen Typs. Mit Bez…
The role of place in the development of a circular economy: A critical analysis of potential for social redistribution in Hull, UK
This paper examines the role of place in the local development of a circular economy and the potential for consequent social redistribution. Based on a case study of public, private and third-sector approaches to a circular economy in Hull, an industrial city in the northeast of England, it offers a critical analysis of the geographic distribution of socio-economic benefits from local circular economy developments. Policy goals of inclusivity (or…
Everyday sustainability transitions through using green buildings: Spatial perspectives on materialities, discourses, and lived sustainabilities
In 2019, governments across Europe set the goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Through its high share of energy use and carbon emissions, the building sector is seen as central in this endeavor. While European Union (EU) and national regulation and incentive schemes provide an important context, how green building is realized often plays out at subnational spatial scales, including how green buildings are designed and embed…
Assembling place-based transitions: Capitalist logics of green building in Vancouver, Canada
Green building is increasingly central in urban sustainability strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to demonstrate leadership, innovation, and technological advances. Vancouver offers a strategic example of a city that has adopted green building policies for sustainability and boosterism purposes. We combine assemblage thinking with sustainability transitions research to expose the relationality and interconnectedness of green build…
Translating green economy concepts into practice: Ideas pitches as learning tools for sustainability education
The urgency of the current climate crisis emphasizes the need for university graduates equipped with relevant knowledge and skills to tackle environmental and social problems such as material consumption, environmental degradation and inequality at all spatial scales. Geographic and spatially sensitive concepts and approaches to sustainability and greening are particularly relevant as best practices and success models are not easily transferable …
Global-local tensions in urban green neighbourhoods: A policy mobilities approach to discursive change in Freiburg, Vancouver and Luxembourg
The ways in which green neighbourhoods have developed over recent decades has become increasingly globalized, driven by the challenges of climate change and the globalization of knowledge exchange including a shift towards quantified approaches of carbon control. As a result, cities do not only share knowledge, experiences and practices but also compare and compete with each other in their pursuit of sustainability leadership. To understand the e…
Mobile transitions: Exploring synergies for urban sustainability research
Urban sustainability approaches focusing on a wide range of topics such as infrastructure and mobility, green construction and neighbourhood planning, or urban nature and green amenities have attracted scholarly interest for over three decades. Recent debates on the role of cities in climate change mitigation have triggered new attempts to conceptually and methodologically grasp the cross-sectorial and cross-level interplay of enrolled actors. Wi…
Institutional thickening and innovation: Reflections on the remapping of the Great Bear Rainforest
As a response to forest conflict, contemporary remapping refers to re‐evaluations of resource values, new and diverse forms of governance among stakeholders, and compromises within patterns of land use that give greater emphasis to environmental and cultural priorities. This paper elaborates the processes of remapping by examining the role of institutional innovation in conflict resolution, with particular reference to the iconic Great Bear Rainf…
Blending Scales of Governance: Land‐Use Policies and Practices in the Small State of Luxembourg
Affolderbach J. and Carr C. Blending scales of governance: land-use policies and practices in the small state of Luxembourg, Regional Studies. While multilevel governance is helpful in understanding the logics behind integrated sustainable development policies, this paper argues that relational multi-scalar approaches more accurately explain actual land-use transformations in the small state of Luxembourg. These conclusions are based on surveys o…
Environmental Bargaining and Boundary Organizations: Remapping British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest
In recent decades, the creation of conservation areas has been a significant and contested trend in resource peripheries around the globe, embracing the “remapping” of resource extents, tenures, and values and thereby land use patterns and regional development trajectories. Environmental nongovernmental organizations (ENGOs) have emerged as key actors in the conflicts underlying this remapping, as advocates of environmental values and opponents o…
Environmental Bargains: Power Struggles and Decision Making over British Columbia's and Tasmania's Old-Growth Forests
Over the past few decades, conflicts over resources have increased in scale and intensity. They are frequently dominated by environmental nongovernmental organizations (ENGOs) that fight, boycott, lobby, and negotiate with other interest groups to privilege nonindustrial, particularly environmental, values of resources. This article proposes an environmental bargaining framework to analyze the many and varied forms of interactions and processes t…
