The chapter approaches the “transition” concept, introducing in the first part the societal transition models of complex systems focusing on the most relevant aspects of the evolution of the theoretical approach (Geels, 2002). The transition initiatives and the transition management are applied to the regional and urban levels as approaches toward sustainability and climate change mitigation and adaptation issues. Under the transition urban metaphor, a diversified range of practices that developed long-term visions, conceptual frameworks, and tools can be included. Common concepts and principles and promising strategies, solutions, and tools proposed (both by literature and disciplinary debates and by community-led activated practices) are highlighted in order to suggest emergent innovations in urban climate change issues and resilience polices and solutions.

Abstract
The chapter approaches the “transition” concept, introducing in the first part the societal transition models of complex systems focusing on the most relevant aspects of the evolution of the theoretical approach (Geels, 2002). The transition initiatives and the transition management are applied to the regional and urban levels as approaches toward sustainability and climate change mitigation and adaptation issues. Under the transition urban metaphor, a diversified range of practices that developed long-term visions, conceptual frameworks, and tools can be included. Common concepts and principles and promising strategies, solutions, and tools proposed (both by literature and disciplinary debates and by community-led activated practices) are highlighted in order to suggest emergent innovations in urban climate change issues and resilience polices and solutions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
