Abstract

ABSTRACT In this editorial introduction, we introduce the special issue “Transforming Urban Sustainability”, which seeks to understand the pursuit and practice of transformative change for urban sustainability. Uniquely, the contributions to the Special Issue were developed through trans-disciplinary collaborations and in this editorial we reflect on these practices and consider how they can catalyze transformative change in and through academic practice. We also review existing conceptual approaches to transformation and develop a heuristic device that helps us to appreciate its multiple and diverse dimensions. Through this heuristic, we generate lines of sight through which to view transformation and position the contributions in the Special Issue in relation to these. We conclude by suggesting that to advance both the understanding and traction of transformative action we need to recognise its multiplicity and actively engage with its different facets.

跨领域的转型实践:培育城市转型新视野

在这篇社论导论中，我们介绍了特刊“转型城市可持续发展”，旨在了解城市可持续发展的转型变革的追求和实践。独特的是，特刊的贡献是通过跨学科合作发展起来的，在这篇社论中，我们反思了这些实践，并考虑了它们如何在学术实践中促进变革。我们还回顾了现有的转化概念方法，并开发了一种启发式方法，帮助我们理解其多重和不同的维度。通过这种启发式，我们产生了一种视线，通过这种视线来观察转型，并在特刊中定位与这些相关的贡献。最后，我们建议，为了促进对变革行动的理解和推动，我们需要认识到其多样性，并积极参与其不同方面。

期刊介绍： Local Environment: The International Journal of Justice and Sustainability is a refereed journal written by and for researchers, activists, non-governmental organisations, students, teachers, policy makers and practitioners. Our focus is specifically on sustainability planning, policy and politics in relation to theoretical, conceptual and empirical studies at the nexus of equity, justice and the local environment. It is an inclusive forum for diverse constituencies and perspectives to engage in a critical examination, evaluation and discussion of the environmental, social and economic policies, processes and strategies which will be needed in movement towards social justice and sustainability - "Just Sustainabilities" - at local, regional, national and global scales. Please note that we only accept submissions that share our focus. Based on critical research and practical experience, we are particularly seeking submissions from nations and continents representing different levels of income and industrial development and from countries in transition in order to engage in mutual learning and understanding.
