  • Summary

    Urban sustainability transitions research has grown into a prominent field since the late 2000s. This chapter traces its historical evolution, offering a concise overview of key debates, defining terms, and examining methodological implications. It explores recent discussions on actors, agency, intermediation, governance, and urban transformative capacities. Drawing on the ‘City of the Future’ project in Dresden, Germany (2015-2022), it illustrates practical applications of research. The chapter concludes with an outlook on emerging priorities and methodological innovations, advocating a shift from short-term, project-based urban research towards long-term real-world laboratories. These would serve as enduring social research infrastructures, fostering sustained partnerships among academia, policymakers, businesses, civil society, and citizens to collectively experiment with and navigate transformative urban change.
