Abstract

This thesis examines how policy narratives inform the regional planning approach to sustainable infrastructure transitions. Many infrastructure systems are locked into unsustainable paths, resulting in policy, land use and infrastructure relationships that are path dependent. The research finds policy narratives indicate that infrastructure systems are reconfigured amid tensions, resistance and trade-offs that inhibit and displace sustainable innovation and transition pathways. In its current traditional form, regional planning is bound to highly institutionalised and normative conditions that resist innovative, co-evolutionary and transformative change in pursuing sustainable infrastructure transitions.
