This volume analyzes sustainability-related innovations in the
building sector and discusses how regional contexts articulate
transition trajectories toward green building. It presents
'biographies' of drivers and processes of green building innovation
in four case studies: Brisbane (AUS), Freiburg (GER), Luxembourg
(LU), and Vancouver (CA). Two of them are relatively well known for
their initiatives to mitigate climate change - particularly in the
building sector, whereas the other two have only recently become
more active in promoting green building. The volume places emphasis
on development paths, learning processes, and innovations. The
focus of the case studies is not restricted to purely technological
aspects but also integrates regulatory, procedural, institutional,
and other processes and routines and their influence on the
variations of the building sector. The diversity of the selected
case studies offers the reader the opportunity to gain a thorough
understanding of how sustainability developments have unfolded in
different city regions. Case study-specific catalogues of
transition paths provide insights to inform policy debates and
planning processes. The catalogues identify crucial innovations
(technological, regulatory, etc.) and explain the factors and
circumstances that have led to their success and broader acceptance
in Freiburg, Vancouver, Luxembourg, and Brisbane. With the help of
a number of micro case studies within each of the four city
regions, the case studies also offer ground for comparison and
identification of differences. The book represents the outcome of
the GreenRegio project, which stands for 'Green building in
regional strategies for sustainability: multi-actor governance and
innovative building technologies in Europe, Australia, and Canada.'
GreenRegio was a 3-year CORE-INTER research project funded by the
National Research Fund Luxembourg (FNR) and the German Research
Foundation (DFG). Chapters 2, 3,10 are available open access under
