Mobilising sustainability: Why European sustainable urban development initiatives are slow to materialise

Tom Becker

Drawing on the example of the Reference Framework for Sustainable Cities (RFSC) initiated by the European member states and strongly supported by the European Commission (EC) both in terms of expertise, values, benchmarks and financial resources, this article explores why EU-induced policy transfer activities intended to boost urban sustainability are slow to materialise in cities. It also analyses the role that Luxembourg's national unit for urban policy (Cellule nationale d'Information pour la Politique Urbaine, CIPU), a policy-practice-research interface connecting the European, national and local scales plays in this process. Evidence suggests that the attempt to materialise European sustainable urban policy initiatives with the RFSC was hampered by complex, multiply- scaled, and relational transfer processes that influence their permeability and dynamics in cities.
