Abstract:
From the summary: This thesis aims to understand the role of cities in the context of sociotechnical transformations of urban energy systems. Drawing on urban energy transitions (UETs) as an analytical frame, this thesis explores the drivers, processes and pathways for low-carbon energy transformations within cities. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach taking the cities of Hamburg and Hong Kong into account. Research methods consisting of desk research, a policy review, semistructured interviews and a qualitative data analysis were employed. The empirical research investigates the distinct narratives for transformative change in the two cities through the dimensions of energy and climate politics, urban energy infrastructure, and wider multi-level relationships. As a cumulative thesis, the research findings are presented in three original publications. Paper 1 and paper 2 present the empirical findings of each case individually and address the governance of UETs and climate change in relation to interests, actors, materialities and implications. Paper 3 provides a theoretical consideration of the role of cities in mobilising transformative change and adopts a concept of capacity to explain energy transitions pathways in cities.
