Contradiction, intervention, and urban low carbon transitions
This paper presents an analysis of contradictions in urban low carbon transitions as engines of change. Following Kojève’s reading of contradiction in Hegel’s oeuvre, I argue that contradiction is a constitutive feature of low carbon interventions. This is an alternative to conventional readings of contradiction as a provisional encounter of opposites in which one will eventually cancel out the...
متن کاملEco-acupuncture: Designing Future Transitions for Urban Communities for a Resilient Low-carbon Future
Over the coming decades, as we navigate the end of the fossil fuel era, probably soon to be known as the carbonaceous period in human development (or more evocatively, after Yusoff [2010], the period of ‘the economy of dead animality’), we can predict with some certainty that cities will be the locus for action for whatever emerges to replace it. This is not just a recognition that more than ha...
متن کاملReviewing the socio - technical dynamics of low - carbon transitions
Effective mitigation of climate change will require far-reaching transformations of electricity, heat, agricultural, transport and other systems. The energy studies and modelling research that so often dominates academic and policy debates provide valuable insights into these transitions, but remain constrained by their focus on rational decision-making and their neglect of non-linear dynamics ...
متن کاملUrban settlement transitions
Urban growth dynamics attracts the efforts of scientists from many different disciplines with objectives ranging from theoretical understanding to the development of carefully tuned realistic models that can serve as planning and policy tools. Theoretical models are often abstract and of limited applied value while most applied models yield little theoretical understanding. Here we present a ma...
متن کاملSupporting Urban Planning of Low-Carbon Precincts: Integrated Demand Forecasting
Waste is a symbol of inefficiency in modern society and represents misallocated resources. This paper outlines an on-going interdisciplinary research project entitled ―Integrated ETWW demand forecasting and scenario planning for low-carbon precincts‖ and reports on first findings and a literature review. This large multi-stakeholder research project develops a shared platform for integrated ETW...
