我研究了城市未来的多种愿景，当城市行为者和组织重新配置自己以解决可持续性问题时，这些愿景可能会出现。在世界各地的各个城市，新的想法，倡议和网络正在出现在治理中，以解决城市地区的社会和生态条件。然而，城市可以是有竞争力的空间，带来了多个参与者，网络配置，偏好和知识，这些因素塑造了未来发展的理想路径的政治。我使用的知识-行动系统分析（KASA）的方法来检查的框架和知识系统，影响不同的参与者如何在城市的土地治理网络的圣胡安构建愿景的未来城市。结果显示，四个愿景的城市共存于圣胡安。虽然可持续性是一个贯穿所有四个愿景的目标，但它们各自优化了概念的不同维度。城市社会生态系统的竞争框架和城市中共存的多种知识体系的权力不对称，可以部分解释这种视觉上的反差。我讨论了适应性城市治理研究和实践的可持续性政治的理论，方法和实践意义。KASA的方法可以作为一个窗口，通过解开竞争的方式，演员'看到'和'知道'的城市社会生态系统的适应能力。最重要的是，这种方法提供了一种评估可持续发展道路的方法，它揭示了主导社会结构和认知模式得到加强的程度，或者城市中是否出现了创新和变革方法的机会。
I examined the multiple visions of the future of the city that can emerge when city actors and organizations reconfigure themselves to address sustainability. In various cities worldwide, novel ideas, initiatives, and networks are emerging in governance to address social and ecological conditions in urban areas. However, cities can be contested spaces, bringing a plurality of actors, network configurations, preferences, and knowledge that shape the politics over desirable pathways for future development. I used the knowledge-action systems analysis (KASA) approach to examine the frames and knowledge systems influencing how different actors involved in the land governance network of the city of San Juan constructed visions for the future of the city. Results revealed four visions for the city coexisting in San Juan. Although sustainability is a goal that cuts across all four visions, they each optimized distinct dimensions of the concept. The contrasts in visions can be explained in part by competing frames of the urban social-ecological system and power asymmetries in the multiple knowledge systems coexisting in the city. I discussed the theoretical, methodological, and practical implications of the politics of sustainability for adaptive urban governance research and practice. The KASA approach can serve as a window into the adaptive capacity of the city by disentangling the competing ways that actors ‘see’ and ‘know’ the urban social-ecological systems. Most importantly, this approach offers a way of appraising sustainable pathways by revealing either the extent to which dominant social structures and cognitive patterns are being reinforced, or whether opportunities for innovative and transformative approaches are emerging in the city.
