Joined-up governance for low-carbon cities

    Project: NWO project

    Project Details

    Description

    Cities have the potential to substantially contribute to climate change mitigation. Seeking to realise this potential city governments are increasingly collaborating directly with firms and citizens in urban governance. This approach to governance has become known as joined-up governance. It is progressively recognised as a promising means of addressing complex urban challenges, including the necessary transition to low-carbon cities. Joined-up governance has, however, been more theorized than empirically studied. Little is known about whether, to what extent, or in what ways joined-up governance ‘works’. This project addresses this knowledge gap by evaluating and refining theorising on joined-up urban governance.

    Description

    Steden zijn een drijvende kracht voor klimaatmitigatie. Wereldwijd werken overheden, bedrijfsleven en burgers samen aan innovatieve beleidsarrangementen voor klimaatbestendige steden. Dit onderzoek gaat na in hoeverre welke vormen van bestuurlijke samenwerking het meest kansrijk zijn voor een snelle mitigatie van steden op grote schaal. Lesson uit het onderzoek zullen bijdragen om stedelijke klimaatmitigatie in Nederland en elders te versnellen.
