Transition management in the urban context: guidance manual

Date 17 Nov, 2016

During the MUSIC project, five European cities pioneered with transition management, a governance approach aimed at creating space for new paradigms and practices, to address climate change at the local level.

This guidance manual on transition management in the urban context, developed by the MUSIC project, is a great resource for anyone who feels that urban governance as we know it, instead of providing us with solutions, is often part of the problem.

The experience of MUSIC cities shows us that taking a different, perhaps more challenging, route can lead to interesting results not only in terms of new initiatives for climate mitigation, but also in terms of social learning, empowerment and partnerships.

The guidance manual is available in four other languages: French, German, Norwegian and Spanish. A shorter version is available in Greek.
