The urban energy transition represents a transformation of such
magnitude that it will require a re-examination of the fundamental
relationship between societies and energy resources. The potential
for cities to deliver sustainable energy for their citizens
requires context-specific action. One-size-fits-all approaches -
which assume homogeneity across cities and economies of scale in
the extension of electricity networks - have largely failed to
deliver sustainable energy for all. This challenge is existential,
questioning the fundamental ways in which contemporary life is
organized around energy. This innovative volume argues that the
urban energy transition depends on specific urban trajectories and
heterogeneous urban energy landscapes, reflecting both strategic
projects of urbanization and people's dwelling practices. Looking
at in-depth case studies of urban energy landscapes in four major
cities, it calls for citizens' active engagement with
experimentation in everyday life. The book will have wide
interdisciplinary appeal to researchers in energy, urban and
environmental studies.
