L'atlas sonore
Le quartier Saint-Jacques est un quartier populaire de Clermont-Ferrand, regroupement d’immeubles et de cultures, dans lequel je me suis immergé pendant plusieurs mois. À partir de témoignages, de rencontres avec des habitants du quartier, nous composons un travail de collecte de la mémoire de ce quartier, une photographie sonore d’un instant de vie. Loin d’un travail ethnographique ou anthropologique, c’est en tant qu’artistes que nous élaborons…
Urban Energy Landscapes and the Rise of Heat Networks in the United Kingdom
In the past decade, district heat networks have emerged as a key strategy for the UK government to achieve its 2050 decarbonization targets. Reports and analyses have focused on the technical and economic challenges of introducing networked heat provision in a country where this is a relatively novel energy service. Meanwhile, there has been little emphasis on the spatial and physical aspects of heat provision and their influence on the spatial d…

Reflections on a policy denouement
We reflect on the decision to abandon the mainstreaming of zero‐carbon house building in England, in the context of our paper (Walker et al . 2015) that took this long‐standing policy commitment as its case study. We consider this denouement as further evidence of how the exigencies of capital accumulation resist moves towards low‐carbon transition. We reflect on what it reveals about the relation between politics and governance, the grounding an…
Zero carbon homes and zero carbon living
We consider in this paper the relations between built form and everyday practices of home‐living. These we see as co‐constituting a combined domestic carbon space in which sociomaterial interdependencies are constantly at work. Carbon emissions are necessarily caught up in these interdependencies and not separable from them. We use the case of the mainstreaming of zero carbon (zero‐C) housing in the UK to explore whether conceiving of domestic ca…
The Sociology of Energy, Buildings and the Environment
Bringing the social sciences to the heart of environmental debate, this book demonstrates the relevance of sociological analysis for environmentally critical issues like energy consumption. Focusing on energy efficiency and the built environment, the authors take a critical look at the production and use of technical knowledge and energy-related expertise. Challenging the conventional assumptions of scientists and energy policy-makers, the book o…
The financial entanglements of local energy projects
There is currently an expansion of local energy initiatives, underpinned by the desire to reduce energy-related carbon emissions and in recognition of the importance of the local arena to achieving such change. Much of the research on these initiatives has been framed by a conventional economic approach, identifying barriers, drivers and incentives to explain their emergence (or not). Here a new economic sociological approach is taken which sees …
Climate change and the city
The significant shifts in climate variables projected for the 21st century, coupled with the observed impacts of ongoing extreme weather and climate events, ensures that adaptation to climate change is set to remain a pressing issue for urban areas over the coming decades. This volume of Progress in Planning seeks to contribute to the widening debate about how the transformation of cities to respond to the changing climate is being understood, ma…
Climate change, adaptation and Eco-Art in Singapore
Eco-Art has recently emerged as a potential means to place emphasis on environmental issues such as climate change, recycling and the metabolism of the city experienced both materially and conceptually within local, regional and global contexts. Such art presents the possibility of shaping civic practices in arenas beyond those of traditional planning domains. Adopting a pragmatic approach, which recognises the contextual pluralism that exists in…
Mapping the Coevolution of Urban Energy Systems
The interface of a long-standing movement for sustainability at the urban scale and the imperatives of the carbon-reduction agenda are driving change in urban energy systems. This paper seeks to address the nature of that change and, in particular, to consider how different pathways of change are emerging. To do this it draws on the coevolution and pathways literatures to interrogate a database of current urban energy initiatives within the UK. T…

Re-interpreting Regulations
Regulations are highly influential in shaping urban places and architectural form. This paper investigates the impact of changing regulation on the working practices of architects. First, it outlines how the building regulations have grown in scope and complexity, especially with regard to energy regulations. Secondly, the relationship of regulation and design is explored, showing a shift from a dialectic of constraint and autonomy to one of inte…

STS and the City
Many recent studies on network technologies and cities share an alarmist view of the impact of technological or regulatory change in utility sectors on the social and spatial fabric of cities, pointing to growing discrimination and inequalities, alienation, enhanced social exclusion and urban "splintering" on a universal scale. A science and technology study (STS) perspective on these matters is helpful in moving beyond this "universal alarmism" …
Îlots de développement en Grande-Bretagne. Diversité des stratégies immobilières dans les villes en Grande-Bretagne
Les capitales des pays riches se distinguent par un urbanisme standard de puissance internationale. Dans les villes de rayonnement moindre, les nouveaux investissements tablent plus sur l'histoire et la mémoire locale. Des formes originales s'en dégagent qui participent à la redéfinition d'une identité au bénéfice de la région environnante
Digital space meets urban place
In this paper Graham and Guy analyse the political and spatial contestations surrounding the rapid recent growth of gentrifying IT-clusters in downtown San Francisco. The emphasis is on how new, high-capacity internet infrastructures and services, and the technoscientific apparatus to maintain, use and apply such infrastructures, are implicated in the restructuring of politics and landscapes of this particular central city. In particular, the aut…
Bridging the Divide? Complementary Perspectives on Property
In a recent paper, we argued for the need to develop an understanding of property development processes which combines a sensitivity to the economic and social framing of development strategies with a fine-grain treatment of the locally contingent responses of property actors. This is a response to Ball's criticisms of that paper, which offer a misleading characterisation of our methodological and theoretical position with regard to property rese…
Development Cultures and Urban Regeneration
The importance of levering private finance and investment into urban regeneration is a central consideration of policy. Attention has focused on institutional investors' motives for holding regeneration investments and on how they might be encouraged to put more money into inner-city areas. The paper argues that, while helpful, the impact of such an approach upon urban regeneration will be limited. This is because, by definition, institutional in…
Constructing sustainable urban futures
This paper begins to build a conceptual framework that acknowledges the multiplicity of pathways towards different sustainable futures that often co-exist within a single city. There are three stages to the argument: the shift from the concept of a singular towards multiple models of what the sustainable city might become; the rejection of the simplistic use of models and the development of competing pathways to sustainable cities; and the recogn…
Understanding Urban Development Processes
In their treatment of development, researchers in the property sector tend to adopt positivist methodologies which emphasise the application of rational decision-making techniques by utility-maximisers within a mainstream economics paradigm. While considerably increasing our understanding of the development process, such research offers a partial view of its subject from a particular perspective. Recently, alternative methodological and theoretic…

Splintering Networks
The past 15 years have seen an enormous shift in the regulation and management of infrastructure networks in the UK. Complex patchworks of competitive gas, electricity, water and telecom providers are replacing the relatively uniform, monopolistic and monolithic regimes of the post-war period. These changes have major, but poorly explored, implications for the economic, social and environmental development of British cities. In this context, the …

Infrastructure Provision, Development Processes and the Co-production of Environmental Value
This paper argues that the current debate about developer contributions in relation to infrastructure networks is blinding us to radical shifts emerging in the relationship between infrastructure providers and developers. Moreover, we suggest that conventional planning discourse about infrastructure charges, standardised service fees and impact assessment could actually hamper the emergence of this new logic. The paper illustrates how a new logic…
Transforming urban infrastructure provision—The emerging logic of demand side management
The provision of electricity, water and transportation forms a vital underpinning to urban development. Despite this importance, the mode by which infrastructure services are provided has been largely taken for granted and has attracted relatively little interest from urban studies and policy‐ making communities. This paper, based on the results of an 18 month ESRC Global Environmental Change programme project, reconnects urban policy to infrastr…

This paper maps some of the social and commercial forces shaping the debate around ‘realistic’ or ‘appropriate’ levels of energy specification in the commercial office market. It discusses how the dynamics of the market, alternative lease arrangements, enhanced building management standards, technological innovation and shifts in cultural taste are all redefining contemporary office space and presenting new opportunities for environmental innovat…

Understanding Sustainable Cities
Making a Difference
Infrastructure management has traditionally been based on a logic of predict and provide in which rising demand was met with an increase in infrastructure capacity. However, recent changes in political, economic, and environmental priorities mean that projects such as new roads, which simply expand supply, have become more controversial, and that reducing demand is now a key challenge. This article is about the different ways in which infrastruct…
