Conflicting strategies towards sustainable heating at an urban junction of heat infrastructure and building standards

Philipp Späth and Harald Rohracher

Energy Policy, 2015, vol. 78, issue C, 273-280

Abstract: Approaches to ‘sustainability transitions’ stress the possibility of aligning actors around a shared vision of the future, e.g. at the scale of a city. Empirical accounts reveal how difficult such coordination often is due to contradictory views involved. How can we better understand related processes of searching and negotiation? What does this mean for the organization of decision making processes regarding long-term infrastructural change?
