Abstract
ABSTRACTIn the transition of socio‐technical systems, local projects and experiments regarding the low carbon economy and climate mitigation/adaptation serve as transition places. In specific contexts, they become sites of innovation and creativity. This paper discusses and characterizes the innovative practices undertaken in local Danish arenas of transition, concentrating on technology and practice related to CO2 reductions within the housing and construction sector. In particular, the paper seeks to identify the various roles of local actors' deliberation in situated places of transition, thus contributing to the development of transition theories on actors and conditions for niche experimentation. Finally, the paper contributes to the building up of knowledge on transition dynamics related to low carbon construction and housing. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
