Julia M. Wittmayer,

Sustainability and Climate Change Governance

This chapter synthesises insights and lessons from the experiences with the operational and heuristic application of the transition management framework in five European and Asian cities: Aberdeen, Ghent, Higashiomi, Kitakyushu, and Montreuil. Zooming in on one of the transition governance principles, this chapter analyses how far the transition management activities outlined in the five empirical chapters of this book have contributed to creating space for change to building up alternative regimes and challenging the status quo. This analysis allows drawing lessons for transition governance principles and for operational process transition management designs.
