到目前为止，城市地区作为可持续性转型的场所仍然没有得到充分的探索。通过对欧洲五个不同城市地区的比较分析，我们为城市层面的当代可持续发展转型提供了新的见解。同样，对可持续性过渡的发展前和起飞阶段进行了深入研究，而加速阶段仍然是一个研究空白。我们通过探索转型如何超越替代实验的播种和民间社会倡议的激活来解决这一研究空白。这就提出了一个问题，即在城市可持续性转型之间可以找到哪些共性和差异。在我们的探索性研究中，我们采用了一个新开发的框架的可持续发展转型的加速机制。我们对可持续发展转型的多阶段模型提供了新的见解。我们的研究结果表明，过渡阶段之间没有明确的界限。从城市区域的角度来看，我们发现加速、减速和停滞的动态是平行展开的。我们观察到几个过渡-过渡到可持续性和不可持续性-共同发展。这表明，在研究城市可持续性转型时，应考虑持续性的政治学--不可持续性的惯性和路径依赖。
City-regions as sites of sustainability transitions have remained under-explored so far. With our comparative analysis of five diverse European city-regions, we offer new insights on contemporary sustainability transitions at the urban level. In a similar vein, the pre-development and the take-off phase of sustainability transitions have been studied in depth while the acceleration phase remains a research gap. We address this research gap by exploring how transitions can move beyond the seeding of alternative experiments and the activation of civil society initiatives. This raises the question of what commonalities and differences can be found between urban sustainability transitions. In our explorative study, we employ a newly developed framework of the acceleration mechanisms of sustainability transitions. We offer new insights on the multi-phase model of sustainability transitions. Our findings illustrate that there are no clear demarcations between the phases of transitions. From the perspective of city-regions, we rather found dynamics of acceleration, deceleration, and stagnation to unfold in parallel. We observed several transitions—transitions towards both sustainability and un-sustainability—to co-evolve. This suggests that the politics of persistence—the inertia and path dependencies of un-sustainability—should be considered in the study of urban sustainability transitions.
