| Abstract | We consider urban transformations as fundamental, multi-dimensional alterations in urban land-use patterns, population developments, infrastructures, governance regimes as well as established values, norms and behaviours. In our understanding these multi-dimensional alterations are guided by the notions of resource-efficiency, quality of life and resilience, based on an environmental research background. The processes related to these notions are highly dynamic and non-linear. Thus, transformation is different from transition. The latter concept focuses on incremental changes within a given system. The very process of transformation is designed and understood as an experiment; this means that specific actions and interventions should be understood as the conscious testing of different options. By drawing on the contrasting pathways of urban growth and urban shrinkage, we outline some of the key concepts and refer to the diverse contexts and associated challenges to put the concepts into context. |
