Collaborative governance towards cities sustainability transition

Abstract

Cities and their constant growth have a crucial role in global sustainable development. The objective of this article is to present a conceptual framework of collaborative governance for the shaping of sustainable cities. The adoption of the multiple case study (5) method allowed understanding the reality of the cities of Copenhagen (Denmark), Amsterdam (Netherlands), London (England), Hamburg (Germany) and Barcelona (Spain). Sources of evidence were collected through in-depth interviews, documents, and observation, plus the data analysis was performed by using the NVivo software. For that, exploratory-descriptive research was conducted with the use of a qualitative research approach. The results exhibit strategies, benefits, risks, and limits inherent to collaborative governance systems in the cities and bring contributions to the development of the governance theory.

VGEs as a New Platform for Urban Modeling and Simulation

“…Distributed collaborative research environments can support the effective integration of multi-disciplinary knowledge, multi-domain experts, and multi-department resources. The effort to achieve the collaboration has been carried out in city collaborative planning [23], collaborative governance [24], collaborative water management [25], and other applications. However, a complex urban system requires a comprehensive collaborative environment that can support collaboration among multiple disciplines, users, and departments from distributed locations.…”

O Uso Da Luz De Tráfego Inteligente Na Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável: Uma Revisão Sistemática Da Literatura

“…It is known that the urban development is associated with the betterment of the quality of life; however, the unorganized, unsustainable and unplanned urban growth affects the social, economic and ambiental environment (ARAUJO; CANDIDO, 2014). This way, at the same time that the cities generate negative impacts in the environment, they can be the protagonists of a transformation process towards sustainable development (CONTI et al, 2019).…”
