Urban climate initiatives may take many different forms, such as policy innovation, experimentation, and urban laboratories (Evans & Karvonen, 2014) – all of which involve novel forms of agency seeking to influence urban governance systems to drive climate action. However, the existing literature on these topics remains piecemeal and fragmented from the perspective of informing strategic action. There is a key need to synthesize insights about ways in which empowerment/disempowerment of climate action in cities occurs, in order to understand the potential success or failure of future urban climate governance initiatives. Urban climate governance initiatives may be empowered or disempowered by many different factors across different contexts. For example, this may relate to the presence of complex infrastructure systems, heterogeneous actors with contested interests, and intersecting structures of power and authority in urban governance (Aylett, 2013; Castán Broto, Oballa, & Junior, 2013; Hughes, 2017). Urban governance systems are often open-ended and not clearly demarcated from broader societal governance systems. Earth System Governance (ESG) scholars commonly view urban governance systems as multilevel (Betsill & Bulkeley, 2007), observing problems in divorcing the city from other jurisdictional levels (e.g. subnational, national, global) (Bulkeley & Betsill, 2005a: 43), and a frequent ‘lack of “fit” between the nature of the problem to be governed and the institutions undertaking governance’ (Betsill & Bulkeley, 2007; 450). Urban governance systems are also increasingly viewed as transnational (Bulkeley et al., 2014; Gordon & Johnson, 2017) owing to the emergence of a new urban climate change politics","PeriodicalId":140905,"journal":{"name":"Urban Climate Politics","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129273782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Friction between novel forms of agency, new agents of change and (dis)empowerment is a missing focus in existing scholarship on urban climate futures. This edited book addresses this knowledge gap and raises important issues for how we understand urban climate responses. It does so by drawing together insights from a wide range of countries, spanning the Global North to the Global South. The book is unique in its ambition and reach. It brings together 11 chapters by renowned urban climate governance scholars from around the globe. These chapters all critically assess the promises and limitations of increasing agency in urban climate governance. They build on solid empirical knowledge gained from case studies in the Global North and Global South. In doing so it sheds a much-needed critical new light on the existing literature and advances the current state of knowledge on urban climate policy and governance. \u0000 \u0000In this chapter, we begin with setting out the key themes of the book – the politics of urban futures, increasing agency in urban climate policy and governance, and contested empowerment in urban transformations. We discuss some of the puzzles they raise for policy, practice, and academia, and propose a critical analysis of the heterogeneous forms of agency shaping the politics of urban futures. From here on, we briefly introduce the chapters that make up the main body of this book and how they relate to the broader ESG scholarship and other relevant communities and work in the field.","PeriodicalId":140905,"journal":{"name":"Urban Climate Politics","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126194923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
