ABSTRACTThis study explores the changes and stability of urban governance through the lens of smart city policy in Barcelona. It argues that the concept of smart cities is flexible and can be applied to both the neoliberal and participatory models of urban governance. Smart city policies undergo gradual rather than radical changes, with public–private relationships remaining stable despite fluctuations in the prominence of different actors. Comparing the smart city policy approaches of two ideologically opposite local governments, this study reveals similarities in the use of the scale, which is limited to local and global dimensions, and dismissal of metropolitan scale.KEYWORDS: Urban governancesmart cityurban politicslocal governmentpublic policies Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

ABSTRACTHousing cooperatives and social movements have become significant actors in the housing delivery in Harare, Zimbabwe. This paper examines how these social movements contribute to the transformation of urban territories. We argue that through strategies, such as collective defiance and demonstration of alternative; housing cooperatives and social movements have challenged urban authorities to concede to new forms of urban development. These urban collectives have created ‘new infrastructure geographies. At the same time, planning institutions respond by reforming policies to embrace grassroots housing initiatives. Our findings contribute to scholarly debates on how the urban poor produce and transform urban spaces.KEYWORDS: Hararehousing cooperatives‘new infrastructure geographies’planning institutionsurban transformationsocial movements Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

This article asks how urban professionals put inclusion into practice as they realize participatory governance in marginalized neighborhoods. Our ethnographic study shows that professionals focused their work practice on the process of inclusion; a prioritization legitimized by the underlying assumption that an ‘inclusive’ process would lead to the envisioned outcomes. This, while citizens were not always included, inclusion appeared to be about including urban professionals as well, and it was not yet clear what outcomes were reached. These insights develop existing knowledge on the work of urban professionals, particularly as they deal with coexisting rationales for inclusion.

Critical to the trajectory and outcome of urban sustainable energy transitions is the ability of government institutions to foster conditions for change and innovation. In this paper, a theoretical perspective combining state power and local governance capability is used as a lens to examine the transition of the energy system in South Africa based on semi-structured interviews with a range of relevant stakeholders, supplemented by analysis of published academic and policy literature. The discussion highlights uneven transitional pathways across the country caused by variations in ‘capability’, together with continuing conflicting interests within the system which require more politically-informed policy processes.
