Toward a Canadian agenda for sustainability transition research
Sustainability transitions research has expanded well beyond its original empirical settings, yet questions remain about how transition perspectives can be meaningfully translated across political economies with distinctive configurations of institutional, geographic, environmental, and historical characteristics. In Canada, these questions are especially salient, as political-economic particularities both complicate the application of transition…
Exploring Ethical Space in land use planning
In 2019, British Columbia (BC) adopted Bill 41: The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA). DRIPA committed BC to developing a new planning process, modernized land use planning, that involves ethical collaboration with Indigenous Peoples. Although ethical decision-making in planning theory has emerged in academic discourse, planning practitioners are missing clear frameworks to implement theory in practice. Ethical Space, a …
The value of values
Adaptation practitioners and researchers have known for some time that values influence uptake and direction of plans. At the same time, adaptation practitioners and researchers have been emphasizing the importance of equitable adaptation. Various values and equity-based approaches have emerged in response. However, how participants in adaptation – whether they are communities, nations, states/provinces, cities, practitioners, researchers, or con…
Seeking recognition justice in Arizona coal country
The 2019 closure of a coal-fired coal plant within the Navajo Nation was economically ruinous for many communities. A just transition funding package – negotiated between representatives of the Navajo Nation and the electric utility Arizona Public Service – would have delivered nearly $150 million to rural and Indigenous coal-impacted Arizona communities, but Arizona's utility regulators opposed the use of ratepayer funds in such a plan, resultin…
Examining Indigenous resurgence in urban parks through Vancouver’s Stanley Park
This article explores the collaborative work of the Stanley Park Intergovernmental Committee and Working Group, established by the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation in partnership with the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. It examines how principles of coexistence planning, grounded in Indigenous resurgence and the disruption of settler normativity, can guide the reclamation of urban parklands in support of Indigenous self-det…
Victoria’s 2023 Housing Policy Agenda
There is a housing crisis occurring around the world and Australia is not immune. Australian cities are suffering from issues not just around housing supply and affordability, but quality and performance and the housebuilding industry is stretched to capacity. Various levels of government have developed policies to address key housing challenges. We explore the announcements made by the Victorian Government in 2023, and whether these are likely t…
Resilience planning in Canada
Resilience planning has grown in popularity as it offers opportunities to address complex challenges faced by cities; however, operationalizing resilience proves to be difficult. Through a comprehensive policy analysis of 171 Canadian local governments’ strategic planning documents, this research aims to understand how resilience is incorporated into plans. Results indicate that there are many approaches to meaningfully incorporate resilience. Wi…
The Housing We Need by 2050 for a Sustainable and Equitable Future
Evaluating equity and justice in Vancouver’s Sea2City Design Challenge
Equity and justice in urban coastal adaptation planning
Globally, cities and urban regions have initiated coastal adaptation planning to address increasing risk from sea level rise. However, there is growing awareness that sea level rise and other coastal flood risks will exacerbate existing social inequities if left unchecked. Planning scholars and practitioners have identified the importance of integrating an equity lens into their coastal adaptation planning, yet standards for defining and evaluati…
Just transitions
Transitions and transformations literature signals the need for radical and large-scale changes for more sustainable futures. In addition to more plural and nuanced understandings of these concepts of change, we need to engage with how we do this type of research, and with whom. We ask: How might research based on responsibility, relationality, and reciprocity change the range of possible outcomes of transitions and transformations, towards more …
Exploring ethical space in land use planning
Planning theorists have long called for planning practices that interrogate dominant power imbalances. However, planning policy and practice would benefit from clear frameworks to implement ethical decision-making in land use planning. Ethical Space, a conceptual approach used to balance power between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, may prove to be a critical intervention in the modernist and colonial practice of land use planning. This pap…
Language, context, and action
Environmental plans have been criticised for failing to appropriately address equity and justice concerns, exacerbating inequity, and overlooking systemic injustices. Some scholars have argued that the use of equity and justice terminology impacts the equity and justice work being done, citing challenges with vague uses of equity. Our research used thematic content analyses, with a focus on language-use, to explore equity and justice framings in …
Planning a just nature-based city
Cities are under intensifying pressure to respond to climate change and growing social inequities. Integrating nature-based solutions, as part of essential city infrastructure, contributes to resilient, liveable and equitable cities, as well as provision of biodiversity habitat. There is increasing focus on how concepts of justice can be embedded in these planning and governance processes. This paper proposes a framework to inform planning for ju…
Localizing a just transition
This paper explores the St. George Economic Development Strategy and strategy development process through a just transitions lens. St. George is a remote island located in Alaska’s Bering Sea, and is home to a small community of Unangan people facing a declining population, infrastructure deficit, and high unemployment. Through a qualitative content analysis and informal interviews, we analyzed how the strategy engaged with four forms of justice …
Unsettling transitions
The Resilient Melbourne experiment
Tackling intersecting climate change and biodiversity emergencies
Evaluating evolving experiments
While accounts of urban climate change governance and planning are growing, there is a need for further conceptual and empirical work to better understand processes of change and uptake across a range of local responses. This paper uses the Council Alliance for a Sustainable Built Environment (CASBE) as an urban experiment seeking to influence development and planning decisions to improve sustainability outcomes in the built environment in the St…
The Role of Mandatory and Voluntary Approaches for a Sustainable Housing Transition
Housing performance has typically been governed by mandatory performance policies. There are examples of voluntary policies and programmes which have been introduced to augment mandatory requirements and push innovation. This paper investigates mandatory and voluntary sustainable housing approaches in Vancouver and Melbourne through a multi-level governance approach. The paper highlights key opportunities for voluntary approaches to help raise th…
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 …
The Energy Futures Lab
Circular cities
Cities are growing rapidly, and the systems of production and consumption that support this growth are contributing to the depletion of natural resources and pollution of the environment. The circular economy model offers an alternative to the predominant take-make-dispose economic system. Local municipalities are seen to have the capacity to encourage sustainable development of the built environment. This paper aims to explore the role of strate…
The acceleration of an unprotected niche
Building urban resilience with nature-based solutions
Cities face increasing environmental, social and economic challenges that together threaten the resilience of urban areas and the residents who live and work there. These challenges include chronic stresses and acute shocks, amplified by climate change impacts. Nature-based solutions have emerged as a concept for integrating ecosystem-based approaches to address a range of societal challenges. Nature-based solutions directly address and contribut…
