城市为实现可持续发展提出了重大挑战和机遇。许多关于城市可持续性的文献侧重于具体方面，如规划做法、城市政策或更可持续的技术或做法的传播。然而，试图了解结构变化对可持续发展的机制，导致了可持续发展转型研究的跨学科领域的出现。过渡研究开发了一个过渡阶段模型，其中区分了预发展，起飞，加速和稳定阶段。然而，迄今为止，加速阶段受到的关注有限。这是一个关键的差距，因为政策制定者热衷于加速转型。本文旨在加深我们对地方行动如何有助于加速城市可持续性转型的理解。它通过探索城市可持续性转型中地方举措的集体机构来测试加速机制框架。借鉴布赖顿和霍韦市（英国）的案例研究，该文件发现，尽管当地的政治条件有利，但除了在个别领域，如食品或流动性，缺乏加速的证据。研究发现，能否取得进展，取决于能否推动各项举措，既扩大可持续做法的规模，又将这些做法纳入地方治理安排。
ABSTRACT Cities raise major challenges and opportunities for achieving sustainability. Much literature on urban sustainability focuses on specific aspects such as planning practices, urban policy or the diffusion of more sustainable technologies or practices. However, attempts at understanding the mechanisms of structural change towards sustainability have resulted in the emergence of an interdisciplinary field of sustainability transitions research. Transitions research has developed a phase model of transitions in which predevelopment, take-off, acceleration and stabilization phases are distinguished. However, the acceleration phase has received limited attention so far. This is a crucial gap as policy-makers are keen to accelerate transitions. This paper aims to enhance our understanding of how local actions contribute towards accelerating urban sustainability transitions. It does so by testing an acceleration mechanisms framework through exploring the collective agency of local initiatives in urban sustainability transitions. Drawing on a case study of the city of Brighton and Hove (UK), the paper finds that despite favourable local political conditions, there is a lack of evidence of acceleration apart from in individual domains such as food or mobility. Progress is found to depend on the agency of initiatives to both scale up sustainable practices and embed these practices into local governance arrangements.
