This book offers the reader a deeper understanding of the eThekwini
Metropolitan Municipality's green and ecological infrastructure
policy landscape. The author utilises the PULSE3 analytical
framework to conduct an in-depth examination and to show how
experts frame and implement the municipality's green and ecological
infrastructure strategies and projects. Although the initial
purpose of this book was to investigate the role of green and
ecological infrastructures in eThekwini's water security
aspirations, the author realised that climate change adaptation and
mitigation play a more central role in motivating the municipality
to develop and implement such science-driven projects. To be sure,
science that is informed by a positivist paradigm, guides how,
where and when the municipality should develop green and ecological
infrastructures. Furthermore, a positivistic stance is generated in
this policy landscape, where science and politics meet at a local
government level, and the book offers an insight into the
science-policy interface, as well as the normative and value
orientations that positivism often ignores. The book also shows the
usefulness of the PULSE3 framework and how it can assist scientists
in all fields to gain a deeper understanding of the complications
that are faced by humankind. This book fills a market gap by
providing a view of how scientists think about problems and how to
solve them by using established paradigms and theories.
