Transition Management in Copenhagen’s Green Mobility System

Source: http://www.earthtimes.org/encyclopaedia/environmental-issues/sustainable-transport/

Introduction

This  blog post is a follow up on the previous, which dealt with analysing a transition towards a green mobility system in Copenhagen, namely increasing the percentage of people that cycle to work and education while gradually replacing the the car by bike in the city of Copenhagen. As a basis for the previous analysis, a Multi-level perspective was used, where three elements were identified, discussed and analysed: the landscape, the regime and niches.

This post however aims at reflecting on how Transition Management concepts have been used in the process towards a green mobility transition. This is because models of transition management support and stimulate socio-technical transitions that are moving in a more sustainable direction (Shove & Walker, 2007). Additionally, implications of the process will be discussed where different opportunities and challenges of managing such a transition will be looked into. Furthermore, a personal reflection will be presented on how the transition could have been managed or organised in a different way.

In order to compile reliable and valid arguments, scientific articles will be used for a theoretical background, whereas data will be gathered from published reports on cycling in Copenhagen. However, due to a lack of precise data for some of the material, some of the conclusions will be drawn based on informed assumptions and general observations.

Transition Management approach for steering a change towards sustainability

Copenhagen’s initiative of improving the mobility system is not a single one-sided project, which can be isolated and looked at individually. It is in fact the joint effort of many independent as well as interdependent projects, which together contribute to a more sustainable mobility system in the city. These projects have different focuses, but as a whole, they are all connected by a common vision. This long-term vision of reducing C02 in Copenhagen while creating a more liveable city (C02 neutral by 2025) is guiding short term developments such as improvements within the cycling infrastructure. For example various projects, reports and publications such as “Futurelab: Preparing for better cycling cities”, “Copenhagen – City of Cyclists”, “The National Bicycle Strategy”, independent initiatives from Cykel forbundet, Copenhagenize and others all share the same long-term vision of a green and sustainable city with more cyclists rather than car drivers. All of these projects have their own transition arena settings, where actors work towards developing a shared vision and communicating it to policy makers.

However, if a transition management framework has to be used on a holistic level where it includes all initiatives for contributing to a green mobility transition as a whole, a few questions have to be answered that will guide the rest of the analysis:

·        Who is driving the transition, in which direction and what are their motives?

·        How are they "managing" this transition?

·        What are the opportunities and challenges of the approach undertaken by the case actors?

When answering the first question, it has to be mentioned that identifying a single actor or an entity driving such a transition is unlikely. This is because, when referring to how the city of Copenhagen was able to bring back cycling as a dominant mobility system in the city (Greenfield, 2012), it was and still is a much more complex system than simply being able to identify a single actor of change. In some cases, it is conceivable to say that the government or prime minister pushes policies forward to improve the cycling infrastructure. However, this is generally not possible if there is not a general societal pressure for a cleaner environment with less polluted air. In one instance, society’s interest for a healthier lifestyle or faster transport without being part of the road congestion might suddenly rise movements of people cycling. This in turn will force the government to reorientate its attitude towards urban infrastructure and begin constructing cycling lanes (Greenfield, 2012). Consequently, citizens may experience more convenience while cycling resulting in increased numbers of people that commute to work or education by bike. Such social changes might lead to a positive feedback in favour of cycling. Nevertheless, such a change might have a different driver. The state for example might have a vision for reducing expenditures on health, and therefore promote more active lifestyles with cycling playing a central part. In that case, the state is driving the change, while citizens are nudged in a way to use a faster and more convenient form of transport: the bike.

Assumingly, such a transition is primarily managed by the municipality, which establishes a transition arena where it facilitates interaction between actors with different backgrounds. These may include city planners, representatives from different organisations such as the Danish Cycling Federation, the Ministry of Transport, car driver associations, as well as other actors, in order to ensure a balance between all citizens’ interests. Nevertheless, Loorbach (2010) stresses on the importance that these people “participate on a personal basis” and “not as a representative of their institution”. Whether this is the case in this particular transition, it cannot be said with certainty, due to the lack of information.

The approach of transitioning to a greener mobility system has opportunities of providing a chance for people from diverse backgrounds, related to cycling, to discuss any topic related to cycling. Additionally, if the transition framework is successful, it can be an example for other city-wide transitions to work from. For instance, it can be a model for car-dominated neighbourhoods or main streets to be converted into “no car” streets. Likewise, on a larger scale, it could be adapted into national policy instead of only being applied to local management (Loorbach & Rotmans, 2010).

A different approach to managing such a transition could have been perhaps more emphasis on developing reports by the use of best practice approaches of other leading cycling cities such as Amsterdam. Taking into account transition management, experts from these fields (on a multinational level) could be invited to the arena settings, in order to bring additional knowledge and experience to improve the areas lacking. It is because it seems that certain parts of cycling infrastructure such as bicycle parking as well as bicycle share systems are lacking behind in term of innovativeness compared to other leading cyclist nations.  

Conclusion

In conclusion, the type of transition has been described where different drivers for change were discussed. From this it can be concluded that it is difficult to identify a single entity driving the change but more a complex mixture of actors gradually transforming the regime, due the complex nature of such a socio-technical transition. Additionally, details characterizing the transition management process such as actors and transition arena were identified and examined where it can be argued that actors reflect on the long term pathways of the regime and perform the change from inside the regime. Furthermore, different opportunities of the approach were discussed as well as a proposal for opening the arena for experts on a multinational scale.

Transition management

Transition Management,

A Portfolio Of Securities

  Transition management is another part of management and it is very important as well. Normally in day to day life we are not much aware of such terms but from inside a business point of view transition management is nothing but a service that is offered by a sell side institution.

  Transition managementis a help to buy side firms transition that is basically a portfolio created for securities. Various events, acquisitions and managements require such portfolios to be transitioned and therefore is known as the Transition management. It is done by most companies.
