"At the current time, many issues and problems within sustainable urban development are managed within traditional disciplinary and organizational structures. However, problems such as, climate change, resource constraints, poverty and social tensions all exceed current compartmentalization of policy-making, administration and knowledge production. This book provides a better understanding of how researchers and practitioners together can co-produce knowledge to better contribute to solving the complex challenges of reaching sustainable urban futures. It is written for academic and professional audiences working with urban planning and sustainable cities around the world. Co-producing Knowledge for Sustainable Cities is presented, by way of introduction, as a non-linear, collaborative approach to knowledge production which combines interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and cross sector approaches to societal problem solving. Examples are taken from five cities including Cape Town, Gothenburg, Greater Manchester, Kisumu, and Melbourne. Each city chapter discusses the drivers behind knowledge co-production and gives examples of activities and approaches that have been used to promote sustainable urban futures. Each chapter is written to promote mutual learning from the approaches that are already in use. Building upon these city cases, the conclusions outline topics for future research that can strengthen the promotion and implementation of the co-production of knowledge for urban sustainability across diverse urban contexts"--

Through this book, readers will gain a comprehensive overview of transdisciplinary knowledge co-production in local contexts as an issue-driven and solution-oriented process, and will come to understand its relationship to societal transformation processes toward sustainability. In a single volume, the theory, approaches and academic implications of this novel type of knowledge production are addressed, together with its societal impacts. In the midst of global anthropogenic impacts that affect various environments, over the past few decades we have observed autonomous initiatives in local communities around the world to tackle these environmental challenges. It is vital that such local actions be scaled up to achieve sustainable societies, which requires societal transformation on larger scales. Thanks to numerous collaborative actions in local communities, transdisciplinary knowledge co-production among diverse stakeholders has successfully been mobilized, resulting in the development of Integrated Local Environmental Knowledge (ILEK); knowledge that can inform and support decisions and actions promoting the sustainable transformation of society. This book uses comparative case studies in communities around the world to illuminate and clarify processes and factors promoting the co-production and utilization of ILEK to facilitate decision-making. In addition, readers will gain deeper insights into the science-society interactions that can contribute to finding collaborative solutions to a wide range of critical environmental problems. Though the book is ideally suited for researchers and students, it also offers a valuable resource for practitioners, government agencies, and stakeholder agencies.

Co-production and co-creation occur when citizens participate actively in
delivering and designing the services they receive. It has come increasingly
onto the agenda of policymakers, as interest in citizen participation has
more generally soared. Expectations are high and it is regarded as a possible
solution to the public sector's decreased legitimacy and dwindling resources,
by accessing more of society's capacities. In addition, it is seen as part of a
more general drive to reinvigorate voluntary participation and strengthen
social cohesion in an increasingly fragmented and individualized society.
Co-Production and Co-Creation: Engaging Citizens in Public Services
offers a systematic and comprehensive theoretical and empirical examination
of the concepts of co-production and co-creation and their application
in practice. It shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic and will
be of interest to students at an advanced level, academics and reflective
practitioners. It addresses the topics with regard to co-production and
co-creation and will be of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers,
and students in the fields of public administration, business administration,
economics, political science, public management, political science, service
management, sociology and voluntary sector studies.

It has become commonplace to employ dialogue-based approaches in producing and communicating knowledge in diverse fields. Here, "dialogue" has become a buzzword that promises democratic, participatory processes of mutual learning and knowledge co-production. But what does "dialogue" actually entail in the fields in which it is practised and how can we analyse those practices in ways that take account of their complexities? The Promise of Dialogue presents a novel theoretical framework for analysing the dialogic turn in the production and communication of knowledge that builds bridges across three research traditions - dialogic communication theory, action research, and science and technology studies.It also provides an empirically rich account of the dialogic turn through case studies of how dialogue is enacted in the fields of planned communication, public engagement with science and collaborative research. A critical, reflexive approach is taken that interrogates the complexities, tensions and dilemmas inherent in the enactment of "dialogue" and is oriented towards further developing dialogic practices from a position normatively supportive of the dialogic turn.
