Exploring the interplay between technological decline and deinstitutionalisation in sustainability transitions
Addressing perinatal health inequities in Dutch municipalities
BACKGROUND: Health inequities are already present at birth and affect individuals' health and socioeconomic outcomes across the life course. Addressing these inequities requires a cross-sectoral approach, covering the first 1,000 days of life. We believe that - in the Dutch context - municipal governments can be the main responsible actor to drive such an approach, since they are primarily responsible for organising adequate public health. Theref…

Tales of transforming cities
Steering transformations under climate change
In light of the persistent failure to reduce emissions decisively, facilitate long-term resilience against climate change and account for the connectedness of climate change with other social, environmental and economic concerns, we present a conceptual framework of capacities for transformative climate governance. Transformative climate governance enables climate mitigation and adaptation while purposefully steering societies towards low-carbon,…

Sustainability Transitions Research
The article describes the field of sustainability transitions research, which emerged in the past two decades in the context of a growing scientific and public interest in large-scale societal transformation toward sustainability. We describe how different scientific approaches and methodological positions explore diverse types of transitions and provide the basis for multiple theories and models for governance of sustainability transitions. We d…
Learning through evaluation – A tentative evaluative scheme for sustainability transition experiments
Actor roles in transition
To date, the field of transition research lacks a suitable vocabulary to analyse the (changing) interactions and relations of actors as part of a sustainability transition. This article addresses this knowledge gap by exploring the potential of the concept of \\'roles\\' from social interaction research. The role concept is operationalized for transition research to allow the analysis of (changing) roles and relations between actor roles as indic…
Governance of Urban Sustainability Transitions
Connecting Long and Short-term via Envisioning in Transition Arenas
This chapter examines the perspective that water related issues to be handled effectively can best be addressed from a broad perspective of which water forms only a part. It includes the background of transition management and of envisioning. The chapter describes two trajectories based on the transition arena methodology in which envisioning took place with developments around water in Rotterdam. The visioning trajectory is a result of reflectio…
The economic crisis as a game changer? Exploring the role of social construction in sustainability transitions

Governing societal transitions to sustainability
Our paper addresses the inherent tension between the open-ended and uncertain process of sustainability transitions and the ambition for governing such a process. We explore this tension from two theoretical angles: the sustainability and the governance angles; by showing the implications of sustainability targets in governance processes and governance attempts. We propose transition management as a governance approach that has the potential to o…

Transition Management for Sustainable Development
This article introduces transition management as a new governance approach for sustainable development. Sustainable development is used here as a common notion referring to those persistent problems in (Western industrialized) societies that can only be dealt with on the very long term (decades or more) through specific types of network and decision‐making processes. Based on interdisciplinary research into complex processes of long term, structu…
Transition management as a model for managing processes of co-evolution towards sustainable development
textabstractSustainable development requires changes in socio-technical systems and wider societal change - in beliefs, values and governance that co-evolve with technology changes. In this article we present a practical model for managing processes of co-evolution: transition management. Transition management is a multilevel model of governance which shapes processes of co-evolution using visions, transition experiments and cycles of learning an…
