Transition Initiatives: Three Exploration Paths

The chapter presents three “exploration paths” or “geographies” of transition initiatives selected in order to explore different spheres of discourses on transition initiatives. Due to the particular panorama of transition practices, which are differentiated, punctuated, and fragmented, it is not possible to assume a univocal geography and homogeneous discourse, the three selected exploration paths permit highlighting peculiarities that emerge from three specific approaches to transition. The first path explored is the Transition Town Network that involves approximately 850 local initiatives and that over 10 years of activity developed principles and tools for actions. The second path presents an overview of (a few) initiatives acting on urban commons and urban public life improvement through community-led initiatives. The third path summarizes the Italian Resilience Practices Observatory experiences presenting the barriers and opportunities emerging from the resilience practices involved. In exploring these three geographies, the chapter aims to highlight some peculiarities of transition initiatives and underline common barriers and promising tools for urban regeneration and urban visioning facing climate change and resilience issues

Building momentum: Scaling up change in community organizations

Addressing calls in Sustainable HCI to scale up our work in HCI targeting sustainability, and the current knowledge gap of how to do this practically, we here present a qualitative study of 10 sustainability-oriented community organizations that are working to scale up their change making. They are all loosely connected to a local Transition network, meaning that they are aiming at transforming current practices in society, through local and practical action, to meet challenges related to climate change. We wanted to know how they try to scale up their change making, and what role ICT plays in enabling scaling up. The study contributes new insights about three stages of scaling up, in which ICT plays different roles. We conclude with implications for HCI for how to support community organizations in scaling up, while keeping values important for working toward a more resilient society
