Abstract

System change requires different perspectives to create synergies. Sustainability transitions is a field of research that intends to solve grand societal challenges with large-scale societal changes. Urban governance is related to the processes and relationships between the government and civil society delivered in towns and cities. This research aims to analyse in which degree can two sustainability transition methodologies support complex urban governance challenges. The case study was done as an exercise and energy sectors. The two methodologies due to their its actionable and contextualizable application were: Doughnut Economics City Portrait Methodology to and energy context and the XCurve energy societal change. The results were that these methodologies were useful for governance in CDMX to create stronger networks between stakeholders with similar visions, and to exchange knowledge, resources, and ideas for change. However, it also found that applying these methodologies was insufficient to create governance change. The design of long-term, resourceful and accessible platforms is required to monitor and follow-up with the changes. More research is required to understand how to design and create these types of platforms.
