Mapping destabilization journeys in urban mobility systems: The case of Hamburg

In: Conflicts in urban future-making: Governance, institutions, and transformative change, Editors: Monika Grubbauer, Alessandra Manganelli, Louis Volont

Hawxwell contributes to an emerging perspective in transitions research that shifts the focus away from innovation towards processes of destabilization and decline. He maps historical developments in Hamburg since an identified turning point away from the unfettered expansion of car-based automobility in the late 1970s. The chapter demonstrates that there are dimensions of locked-in automobility – as well as promising avenues for its unlocking – that are uniquely urban.
