مسکن اجتماعی و انتقال بسیار کربن در لیوبلیانا، اسلوونی

In the context of a growing interest on cities as agents of change for low carbon futures, there is a question about the integration of climate change concerns into municipal sectoral policies, in particular, to what extent low carbon innovations can be incorporated into social housing policies. The paper presents a case study in Ljubljana (Slovenia), where the Municipal Housing Fund has implemented initiatives to advance low carbon innovation and to address energy vulnerabilities in the city. The analysis interrogates to what extent these experiments contribute to achieve a low carbon transition in Ljubljana and to what effect, through the application of a framework to understand how low carbon innovations are made, maintained and lived. The analysis suggests that whilst these experimental project enable the development of alternative visions of a low carbon urban future, they should be understood within the existing contradictions of the urban landscape in Ljubljana.
