Cities in Transition focuses on the sustainability transitions initiated in 40 European cities. The book presents the incredible wealth of insights gathered through hundreds of interviews and questionnaires. Four key domains—local energy systems, local green spaces, local water systems and local labour markets—have been the focus of the field research investigating local potentials for social innovation and new forms of civil society self-organisation. Examining the potential of new organizational frameworks like co-operatives, multi-stakeholder constructions, local-regional partnerships and networks for the success of such transitions, this book presents the key ingredients of a sustainable urban community as a viable concept to address current global financial, environmental and social challenges.

Crucial reading for academics and practitioners of urban planning and sustainability in Europe, Cities in Transition is an innovative roadmap for sustainability in changing cities.

Die konfessionellen Verhältnisse in Deutschland sind durch die staatliche Teilung stark verändert worden. Erstmals seit Gründung des Kaiserreichs herrschte in einem deutschen Staat konfessionelle Parität zwischen Protestanten und Katholiken. Viele Evangelische glaubten deshalb, der Protestantismus habe seine dominierende kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Stellung, die er nach 1871 errungen hatte, an den Katholizismus verloren. Der Protestantismus war unter diesen neuen Bedingungen gezwungen, seine Rolle in der westdeutschen Gesellschaft zu finden und zu behaupten. Dieser Prozeß blieb nicht frei von tiefreichenden Spannungen zwischen unterschiedlichen kirchlichen Gruppen.
