This book presents initiatives across a range of municipal departments, from environmental resource management, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy management to spatial planning. It shows how these departments have shifted from 'business as usual' and mainstreamed climate change in addressing their development and climate change mandates, and describes the challenges that were encountered in making these shifts.The authors of this book believe that a new way of creating knowledge is needed, one which is socially embedded and involves non-academic actors in knowledge construction. To this end, municipal officials and academics worked collaboratively in a process of mutual learning to co-produce knowledge and co-write their chapters. This hybrid process, where practitioner experience is coupled with an academic perspective, has produced an 'insider' view of urban development and climate change governance through the lens of theory. The aim of the book is to present the City of Cape Town as a leader in climate change innovations and hence a model of sustainable urban transition for other cities of the Global South. The analysis of these innovations and the methodology used in producing this book provide 'new' and original practice based knowledge for policy-making in the transition towards more sustainable cities in the face of climate change. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Economic aspects $z Cape Town. $z Cape Town. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $z Cape Town. $z Cape Town. 650 0 $a Drought management $z Cape Town. $z Cape Town. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $z Cape Town. $z Cape Town. 610 20 $a City of Cape Town (South Africa) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2004115915 610 27 $a City of Cape Town (South Africa) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00793086 650 7 $a Climatic changes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864229 650 7 $a Climatic changes $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864236 650 7 $a Drought management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01893561 650 7 $a Environmental policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913250 651 7 $a South Africa $z Cape Town. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204844 700 1 $a Scott, Dianne, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2019058085 700 1 $a Davies, Helen, $d 1974- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2019059019 700 1 $a New, Mark, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2010018600 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020558.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB421F7A1D7611EA83B92C1397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
