The potential for cities to deliver sustainable energy for their citizens requires context-specific action. One-size-fits-all approaches - which assume homogeneity across cities and economies of scale in the extension of electricity networks - have largely failed to deliver sustainable energy for all. This challenge is existential, questioning the fundamental ways in which contemporary life is organized around energy. This innovative volume argues that the urban energy transition depends on specific urban trajectories and heterogeneous urban energy landscapes, reflecting both strategic projects of urbanization and people's dwelling practices. Looking at in-depth case studies of urban energy landscapes in four major cities, it calls for citizens' active engagement with experimentation in everyday life. The book will have wide interdisciplinary appeal to researchers in energy, urban and environmental studies. 505 2 $a Understanding urban energy landscapes -- Heterogeneous urban energy landscapes -- Changes and transformations in urban energy landscapes. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $x Energy consumption $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Cities and towns $x Energy consumption. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861772 650 7 $a Energieversorgung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Nachhaltige Stadtentwicklungsprojekte umsetzen $2 gnd 650 7 $a StaÂdtebaupolitik $2 gnd 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019015544.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F4BB6E6C0C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
