摘要南非城市一直把可持续发展作为一项政策和战略目标。尽管如此，实现促进可持续转型途径的变革潜力仍具有挑战性。我们理解这一僵局的切入点是，城市的转型能力在于政策言论和实施之间的不透明空间。我们从两个方面来解读这些政策分离。首先，我们认为，纽约市确保以促进预期行动的方式实施基于进步和变革原则的政策的潜力与其作为学习机构的能力息息相关。学习的变革作用反过来又取决于获得为决策和行动提供信息的现场隐性知识。其次，我们建议，研究城市的学习能力需要替代的研究和审议空间。为了说明这些论点，我们借鉴了知识合作生产城市实验在开普敦，以提高政策制定和实施的有效性和分析。隐性知识浮出水面的做法，被发现阻碍了城市内的学习。与已确定的学习和变革障碍打交道，为确定解决可持续性脱节的可行杠杆点提供了替代切入点。
ABSTRACT South African cities have focused on sustainability as a policy and strategic objective. Nonetheless, realising the transformative potential of fostering sustainable transition pathways is challenging. Our entry point for understanding this impasse is that the ability of cities to transform lies in the opaque spaces between policy rhetoric and implementation. We unpack these policy disjunctures in two ways. Firstly, we posit that the potential of the City to ensure that policy based on progressive and transformative principles is implemented in ways that foster the intended action is tied up with its ability to perform as a learning institution. The transformative role of learning is in turn dependent on accessing the situated tacit knowledge that informs decision-making and action. Secondly, we propose that researching the capacity of the City to learn requires alternative spaces for research and deliberation. To illustrate these arguments, we draw on a knowledge co-production urban experiment in Cape Town to improve the efficacy and analysis of both policy development and implementation. Tacit knowledge surfaced practices that are found to hamper learning within the City. Engaging with identified barriers to learning and change provides alternate entry points for identifying feasible points of leverage to address sustainability disjunctures.
