The role of visual ethnography in co-producing climate information services in cities
Diverse approaches to climate information services are emerging as impacts escalate in an urbanising globe. However, the climate information services involving cities are mainly collaborations with actors from science, multilateral, national and municipal authorities. There are limited efforts to build on knowledge from residents in local communities about risk and response options, to steer collaborations on climate information services. This ar…
The ‘colorblindness’ of climate finance
The interactions between climate change and financial markets are increasingly becoming a topic of study, yet the ways in which climate finance reinforces new modes of racialization in urban climate adaptation projects remain an under-represented line of questioning in both academic and policy worlds. In order to uncover myriad processes of racialization occurring within financing modes that are mobilized to solve the climate crisis, this paper f…
Transgression in the energy infrastructure landscapes of cities
Transgression is not always illegitimate, but rather an alternative means for citizens to challenge statist notions of orderly cities. This paper examines why transgression persists in energy infrastructure landscapes, based on a case study of illegal connections to the grid in Kampala. Transgression in Kampala is bolstered by actors known as the ‘Kamyufu’, who circumvent electricity regulations to facilitate transactions that remove obstacles to…
Power dynamics in transdisciplinary research for sustainable urban transitions
Transdisciplinary Research (TDR) fosters collaboration amongst stakeholders from different academic disciplines and sectors of society, to jointly search for solutions to complex challenges including rapid urbanization. In order to enhance collaboration and ensure reciprocity of expertize amongst stakeholders, flattening the hierarchy of power is critical for working together to develop research agendas and experiment solutions. However, context …
Do global pandemics disrupt or seed transformations in cities? A systematic review of evidence
Building capacity towards what? Proposing a framework for the analysis of energy transition governance in the context of urban informality in Sub-Saharan Africa
There is an emerging scholarship that criticises the conceptualisation of urban informality from a deficit view and emphasises that informality constitutes a way of life, a practice in its own right. We argue that energy is part of the informal way of life and that energy transitions need to take into account the specificities of urban informality when used for policy. Acknowledging energy practices is necessary to improve the justice of energy t…
Pathways for resilience to climate change in African cities
African cities are largely less-built with agile informal settlements and multiple ecologies that harbor different pathways for resilience to climate change. We undertook a qualitative systematic review of academic and policy evidence, to address the question of what interventions are emerging at neigbourhood to city scale to enhance resilience to climate change in Africa. Resilience at neigbourhood scale often stems from harnessing the local res…
