This course explores the urban politics of sustainable development, with a focus on climate change. This course consists of five closely related units. In the first unit, we will explore together the key forces shaping the politics of sustainability in contemporary Asian cities. This will lead us to explore the following four interrelated units in the politics of urban sustainability, including Agenda, Transition, Metrics, and Action. In the second unit, we will discuss sustainable urban agendas and globally transferred paradigmatic imaginaries driven by different human and non-human actors, such as compact cities, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), smart cities, and zero-carbon transitions. Related to this, in the third unit, we will discuss what policy tools, ratings, standards, and markets of public/collective concern have been adopted in sustainable urban governance? How do these create friction or discrepancies with urban realities across different geographies? Finally, in the fourth unit, we will examine the development of innovative urban practices, actions, solutions, and imaginaries that are reshaping our lives, based on different epistemologies and drivers, at local, regional, and global scales.

本課程探討永續發展的都市政治，並聚焦於氣候變化。本模組由五個緊密關聯的單元組成。在第一單元中，我們將一起探討塑造當代城市可持續發展政治的關鍵力量。這將引導我們探索亞洲城市可持續發展政治中以下四個相互關聯的軸心。議程、過渡、衡量標準和行動。在第二單元中，我們將討論由不同的人類行為者和非人類行為者推動的永續都市議程與全球性的典範移轉與想像，譬如緊湊都市、大眾運輸導向規劃、智慧城市與零碳城市。與此相關的是，在第三單元，我們將討論永續都市治理中採用了哪些政策工具、評等、標準並衍生了哪些公共/集體關注的市場？這些與不同地域間的都市現實產生什麼樣的摩擦或落差？最後，第四單元中，我們將檢視在地方、區域和全球範圍內，基於不同的認識論和推動力，發展出重塑我們生活的都市創新實踐、行動、解方與想像。
