Drawing on collective experience from ten collaborative research projects focused the Global South, we identify three major challenges that impede translation of sustainability and resilience into better-informed choices by individuals policy-makers in turn can support transformation to a sustainable future. The comprise: (i) converting knowledge produced during successful application; (ii) scaling up time when are short-term potential impacts long-term; (iii) across space, local sites...

This article examines innovation activities in water infrastructure Nairobi, Kenya. The focus is on efforts by Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Corporation (NCWSC) to provide services the inhabitants informal areas of city using an automated vending machine, or Pre-Paid Dispenser (PPD). In this study, we investigate what happens when a regime actor like NCWSC tries implement ambidextrous (two-handed) strategy: managing existing system according conventional practice at same time innovate new...

This study evaluated historical land-cover states in order to identify potential land-use transition regimes leading land degradation. Landsat satellite datasets were used characterize for 1986–2017 period. The multinomial probability distribution was establish sample size training and accuracy assessment. Using a hybrid image classification approach, individual images initially clustered using the ISODATA technique, spectral classes later transformed posteriori into respective thematic...

Science and technology studies urban political ecology have made important contributions to the understanding of water provision in Global South. In this article we develop insights from these fields with aim understand blurring boundaries regimes their power relations mediated by actors, institutions technology. Furthermore, explore how can form a critical interface which is institutional–actor space where formal informal encounter each other through conflict cooperation.
