The framework utilises resilience theory and complex system transition theory to examine how a policy system responds to a series of stressors and shocks and then might undergo a broad system-level change — a “critical transition,” which is a non-linear system shift from one state of equilibrium to another. We use the framework to analyse a 1830s critical transition that occurred in the city’s water supply system as it switched from a local private supply system to a regional, publicly financed system. In the discussion, we review how this type of analysis might be useful for understanding the stresses and crises emerging in contemporary urban systems and policy environments as they face the impacts of climate change.","PeriodicalId":47897,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Journal of Regions Economy and Society","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that while scaling successful local adaptation strategies is essential, such efforts must move beyond replication to embrace translation, learning and place-specificities across multiple levels ranging from the local niche to the wider regime. Drawing on case studies from two European regions, it proposes a framework based on rationalisation, experimentation and legitimisation to assess what aspects of CCA are scalable and how this can be operationalised. This paper positions local-level CCA initiatives as potential drivers of broader sustainability transitions and practically asks how we can better foster governance arrangements that support systemic change.","PeriodicalId":47897,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Journal of Regions Economy and Society","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper investigates the distributional consequences of energy codes on single-family housing across neighbourhood income levels. Using the staggered, municipal-level adoption of the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code as a quasi-natural experiment, we estimate the policy’s causal effects on single-family housing prices and new construction. On average, adopting a more stringent energy code leads to only a modest increase in housing prices and reduction in new housing supply. Critically, these effects are concentrated in low/median-income municipalities with low property values, exacerbating affordability pressures. The key mechanism is the relative burden of construction costs. In these jurisdictions, the land represents a smaller share of home value, and compliance costs constitute a larger fraction. While energy codes are an efficient and fundamental tool to reduce carbon emissions at a low cost, their benefits and burdens are not equally distributed. Achieving a just energy transition requires pairing these standards with zoning reform, targeted financial incentives, expedited permitting and workforce training to mitigate regressive effects on lower-income households in the near term; with careful policy design, climate and housing equity goals are not irreconcilable.","PeriodicalId":47897,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Journal of Regions Economy and Society","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on current literature, we suggest three public legitimation practices employed by these actors. Focusing on the establishment of a mining industry in Pajala municipality, Sweden, we demonstrate how local public actors act as agents of change by employing three legitimation practices: articulating compelling visions that encourage stakeholders to envisage desirable local and regional future possibilities, aligning new economic paths with broader regional and national political agendas, and reinterpreting the local past. This paper demonstrates that these legitimation practices employed by local public agents operate paradoxically: they not only enable new economic trajectories but also marginalise alternative visions, reflecting the contested and uneven nature of spatial transformation in resource-rich regions. We conclude with a model of local public legitimation practices in new path creation.","PeriodicalId":47897,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Journal of Regions Economy and Society","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vocabulary converges quickly, often via prefectural strategies, while semantic alignment is slower and weakly related to population change.

In this study, we propose a relational reading of urban heat hazard, arguing that thermal exposure is shaped not only by residential surroundings but also by the characteristics of urban destinations. We measure the attractiveness of places using a Neighbourhood Complexity measure, which captures the structural diversity and specialisation of local urban economies, and relate it to pedestrian heat hazard in Milan. We characterise neighbourhood thermal environments to capture the intensity, mitigation and internal heterogeneity of local heat conditions. Results reveal a tension between urban vitality and heat hazard: highly complex neighbourhoods concentrate both destination mobility and elevated thermal hazard, while also offering greater opportunities for passive mitigation through urban form.","PeriodicalId":47897,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Journal of Regions Economy and Society","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148400979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that migrant inventors act as an unlocking mechanism that transfers external knowledge to host regions, and that informal institutions (i.e. social capital, migrant acceptance) mediate this effect. The work is based on an original dataset of migrant inventors covering 271 NUTS2 regions in the 27 EU countries, the UK, Switzerland and Norway. The analysis shows that migrant inventors help their host regions to diversify into green technologies. The regions with the highest levels of both measures of social capital show a higher propensity of migrant inventors to act as knowledge brokers. Conversely, regions with lower levels of migrant acceptance and social capital do not seem to contribute to this effect.","PeriodicalId":47897,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Journal of Regions Economy and Society","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145492149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
