在过去十年中，越来越多的关于粮食-水-能源关系的文献涵盖了各种学科视角和空间尺度。然而，到目前为止，城市FWE的关系受到的关注较少。在本文中，我们回顾了FWE关系文献，重点是城市规模，并确定在城市FWE关系治理的实际应用方面的学术知识基础的差距。我们的研究结果表明，理论上的关系治理和社区的看法之间仍然存在不匹配。成功的治理是一个反复的过程，需要利益攸关方的投入、思考和回应。虽然研究开发机构的城市FWE治理知识迅速增加，这些结果的反思，以解开关系的复杂性和支持不同的治理actors仍然是有限的，我们讨论的方法，使FWE关系连接更明显和实用的关注城市治理的行为者，并说明交叉的利益和关注的不同行为者在食品，水和能源系统。将城市治理参与者映射到FWE系统的子要素，突出了共同的联系和重叠的利益，为更综合的治理和参与性解决方案铺平了道路。确定治理行为者之间的有形和无形联系也有助于减少FWE关系的模糊性，并促进多方利益攸关方的知识、数据或资源共享。由此产生的办法旨在分解家庭妇女赋权关系的复杂性，使其治理在城市中更容易实现。
The growing body of literature on the Food-Water-Energy (FWE) nexus during the last decade covers a variety of disciplinary perspectives and spatial scales. However, to date the urban FWE nexus has received less attention. In this paper, we review the FWE nexus literature with the focus on urban scale and identify gaps in the scholarly knowledge base with regard to practical applications for the FWE nexus governance in cities. Our findings suggest that there is still a mismatch between theoretical nexus governance and community perceptions. Successful governance is an iterative process, necessitating stakeholder input, reflection and response. While research developing the body of urban FWE governance knowledge has increased rapidly, reflection on those results to unpack the nexus complexity and support different governance actors is still limited.We discuss an approach for making the FWE nexus connections more visible and practical by focusing on the urban governance actors and illustrating the intersecting interests and concerns of different actors within the food, water, and energy systems. Mapping the urban governance actors to the sub-elements of the FWE systems highlights common connections and overlapping interests, paving the road toward more integrated governance and participatory solutions. Identifying the tangible and intangible connections among governance actors also helps to reduce the ambiguity of the FWE nexus, and facilitates multi-stakeholder knowledge, data or resources sharing. The resultant approach aims to disaggregate the complexity of the FWE nexus and make its governance more attainable in cities.
