If your requirements are on a smaller scale, such as moving from a one or two bedroom flat in London or a few items such as furniture, clothes… or documents, or maybe you just need an item collected from an auction house, London shop or friends and delivered to your workplace or home, then our Man with a Van Services are just right for you.
We are fully aware that the cost of a removal lorry can be rather expensive when you only have a few bits to move, and as we generally aware most people don't feel as confident in a man and van service as much as they would with a removal company, we decided to combine our knowledge and know-how to come up with a solution that elevates this security and trust concern, by simply integrating the quality and attention to detail provided with our removals into our Man and van hire London Service, insuring the highest care and quality of care, no matter which service you choose or require. One of our professional team will be their to help organise the project, your items safety and your satisfaction is in our best interest and at the forefront of all that we provide.
The Concise History of Man and Van Removals
The Mesopotamia Man & Van Service:
It is astonishing to think that Man and Van Removals have been around since the Mesopotamians, that is over some 5500 years ago! Of course the first steps into building the van was certainly a long way off, but all of our modern day motorised vehicles from trains, planes and automobiles have not only many things in common with our ancient counterparts, but had it have not have been for one fundamental discovery by the Mesopotamia we would most definitely not be living in the society that we do currently today, and that discovery, was the 'wheel'.
Okay, though the wheel was discovered so early on, the functionality of the wheel of 3500BC needed let say, 'a little more refining'. Originally tree logs were used, with a number of logs placed under a big heavy object and then rolled, later a sledge was used over the top of the logs to help create a smoother surface for the object being transported and to prevent damage from bumping up and down on the uneven logs, even still attempting to move these logs was not easy, but someone discovered that by creating large grooves/gaps in the logs, in effect a line of many wheels, created less friction and therefore it was even easier to manoeuvre, this understandably became the preferred method of transportation for our pre-historic man and van counterparts, but regardless without the sledge being attached to the logs our pre-historic man with a van team had difficulty in transporting their goods with the increased chance of them being damaged in transit, as one or two logs would decided to roll off in a different direction or the sledge decided to find a gap directly in the middle of the logs…. Not long after many a causality the birth of an axle and wooden pegs were made to keep both sledge and logs firmly in place and prevent loss and or damage, in turn creating the first every carts.
Now, we cannot just thank the Mesopotamian's for creating the wheel or for the first form of wheel based transportation as they are also believed to have been the first to put an engine into their removal vans, well a horse at least attached to a cart, in fact the Mesopotamians are supposedly the first humans to have tamed and ridden horses, so combining their two discoveries they built smaller carts, which became carriages to transport goods, people and live stock as well as for war, building and exploration.
Greek and Roman Removals
Over thousands of years later in Greece not a lot had actually changed in the design of the carriage but in refinement of the wheel and carriage itself. Examples of these ancient Man and Van equivalents have been scattered across Europe in France, Germany, Greece, UK, Italy… it is not until approximately 750 BC in Greece that we start to see carriages/chariots being used as every day street vehicles, however they were never practical for long distances due to the rocky and bumpy terrain, the Greek chariots much like those of their rivals the Roman's did not have suspension, so they were not good for your long distance man and van services, but instead of looking at ways to modify the chariots to compensate the bumpy ride, the Greeks just like the Romans in 600BC built roads for their men with vans instead, not a bad thing, but a lot more work than making a few springs.
The Middle Ages Man and Van Removals
After the decline of the Roman Empire in the 5th up until the early 16th century, technology also declined and people pretty much did away with the carriage as a means of transportation, the unmaintained Roman roads became too dangerous and bumpy for this means of transport and it was not until the 16th century that the man and van service resurrected once more
Renaissance Man and Van Companies
By the 16th century, closed carriages returned as a method of travel, in Hungary it was believed that King Matthias commissioned a engineer to build him a cart that though was adjoining the frame and axle was somehow suspended to illuminate a proportion of the bumpyness in the ride. Of course being a king his wish was his command, we have no idea how many engineers were killed in the process of making the kings first suspension based vehicle, but we do know that no horses were harmed in the making! King Matthias's cart had a body that was suspended by leather straps acting as a spring adjoining the axle, which adjoined the wheels.
So the horse drawn carriage was born, again! Amazingly we see little change again until the travel revolution of the early 1900's
The horse drawn carriage again captured the public imagination. Thus, we see carriages figuring prominently fairy tales as Charles Perrault's 1697 compilation of classic fairy tales such as Cinderella, in which a downtrodden beauty is whisked away to a ball in a pumpkin that has been transformed into an elegant coach.
The Man & Van Travel Revolution
By the first decade of 1900's virtually every single vehicle on the roads of London was horse-drawn. Well in excess of 300,000 horses were needed to keep the city on the move, hauling everything from taxis, carriages, delivery vans, food, clothing, medicines, milk… but by 1915 approximately 100 years ago, the motor engine became reliable and quickly more and more businesses and individuals turned to this new means of power for their transportation doing away altogether with the horse and cart, but giving birth to the modern day Man and Van Services.
We are a Man and Van Service like no other, so, why wait another minute longer, when you can contact one of our teams today with the confidence and knowledge that you have just chosen your move wisely!

Many SMB business owners see how inbound marketing can help them grow their businesses. After all, they know that buyers use Google searches and social media recommendations in their buying processes. They do it themselves when they buy products and services. But the question any business owner will ask before making any investment is, "What return will I get?" Inbound marketing is a set of processes that help businesses get found by those who are looking for a solution that they offer, converts that person into a lead or sale, and then analyzes their behavior to learn how to attract more people who might be looking for their solution.
What Investment Do I Need To Make To Do Inbound Marketing?
Inbound Marketing Automation Software
When you invest in inbound marketing, you need to understand that it is a connected series of processes. If you're not doing all of the processes in an integrated manner, your return will be minimal. The glue that holds the process together is a full-featured marketing automation software platform like HubSpot. HubSpot has everything you need to do inbound marketing in an integtrated software package. HubSpot has pricing packages for SMB businesses that range from $2,400 per year to roughly $10,000 per year, depending on your requirements and the number of contacts in your current marketing database. There are other software packages available for SMB owners in a similar price range. This is the first investment I recommend to SMB companies starting an inbound marketing program.
Content Creation
Content like blog articles, eBooks and videos are the fuel that powers the inbound marketing process. Blog articles based on keyword phrases relevant to your business promoted on your social media channels attract vistors to your website. Leads are generated when potential buyers exchange their contact information for premium content offers like eBooks and videos.
SMB companies are now faced with a choice: do I have the time and talent available internally to create content or do I need to outsource content creation? If you decided to create content internally, consider re-purposing your proposals and marketing information into blogs, eBooks and whitepapers. If you outsource content creation, I would recommend budgeting $50-$75 per blog article and $750 to $2,000 to create an eBook or video.
In order to convert visitors to leads, you need to create calls-to-action and landing pages. Most marketing automation software like HubSpot gives you the tools you need to create CTAs and landing pages. You can either create these internally or outsource the task to an inbound marketing agency. The choice comes down to the typical outsourcing question: do I have the time and talent to create these internally or do I need to outsource the process?
Lead Nurturing and Email Marketing
Most visitors aren't ready to buy when they first come to your website. Marketing researcher Gleanster found that 90% of website visitors aren't ready to buy when they first come to your website. Inbound marketers nurture these leads with inbound marketing to help them progress through their buying process until they are sales ready leads. Again, the question here is whether to create and manage these processes internally or to outsource them. Your marketing automation software will provide the platform to execute these processes.
Outsource Your Inbound Marketing Program
Companies like mine offer outsourced inbound marketing to SMB companies that don't have the internal resources to effectively manage their programs. We offer pricing packages that range from $1,500/month to $7,500/month. The primary difference in pricing is the amount of content you want to use in your program.
How Do I Measure My Inbound Marketing Return?
Unlike traditional marketing methods like advertising and PR, you can measure every element of your inbound marketing process. Inbound marketers have no place to hide - SMB managers can track every element of the process.
What Should You Measure?
So what should you measure? That's an easy one - measure web visitors, leads and sales. These are the metrics that matter, particularly sales. You can tie each of these 3 elements back to your inbound marketing. For example, you might find that LinkedIn is the best social media network for your business in terms of producing visitors, leads and sales. To increase your return, you might decide to devote the resources you're applying to Twitter to LinkedIn. This concept applies to all elements of your marketing - you can see which landing pages and email marketing campaigns are producing results and which aren't. Your inbound marketing won't be perfect when you first start. Good inbound marketersanalyze every element of their programs and dial in their processes as a result of marketplace feedback.
Integrating Inbound Marketing With Your Sales Process Is Critical
Unless you have an e-commerce business, there will come a time in your sales process where the online interactions with your leads need to transition to real conversations with your sales team. Sales resulting from inbound marketing are maximized when there is great integration between your sales and marketing teams from the very start of the process. For example, if the inbound marketing team produces leads that never get called by the sales team, you won't sell anything. Conversely, if the marketing team is producing low-quality leads, they won't convert to sold business. The best inbound marketers coordinate with sales from the very beginning of the process.
ROI-Based Planning
Before starting an inbound marketing program, I highly recommend developing ROI-based goals for website visitors, leads and customers. Here is a screenshot of a planning worksheet we use to help set these goals:
When we work through this process with our customers, we answer 2 primary questions:
- How many website visitors and leads do we need to generate from the inbound marketing program to hit our revenue targets?
- Are these numbers realistic.
As you can see, we manage our inbound marketing programs to hit ROI-based goals.
Unlike traditional forms of marketing, the return on your inbound marketing program is easy to measure precisely. Marketing automation software is a critical component of an ROI-based inbound marketing program; it should be the first investment you make when you commit to going inbound. The amount you invest in your program largely depends on whether you have resources and talent internally to run your program or if you outsource program management. The results you derive will depend on the skill with which you manage the program and your ability to analyze data to dial in your program based on marketplace feedback.
If you haven't already taken the plunge, I highly recommend inbound marketing as a great way to create a lead generation channel based on modern buying practices. If you think ROI from the beginning, you will increase your chances for a successful implementation.

Canada has been unable to secure 2 proposed western routes to export these tar sands and an eastern route is said to have no chance.
Canadians are 46/47% for & against the very development of these tar sands while Americans seem headed towards those same numbers.
20 famous German scientists have resigned from a Canadian funded study citing influence. The EU's proposed fuel quality directive reducing carbon emissions would be compromised by refining the world's dirtiest crude.
Industrialized nations do not regard refined tar sands contracted to Asian markets as environmentally or economically sound at this time.
With all the available data, this project should have been dead in the water 5 yrs. ago.

The media's massive revisions on CBO-Obamacare story
By Erik Wemple February 4 at 7:03 pm
In January of 2010, Trans-Canada CEO Russell Girling claimed that the project would produce 13,000 construction jobs. In April of 2011 the number grew to 20,000, which the Canadian Ambassador reiterated in August 2011. In January 2012 the number was revised back down to 13,000 and this past April the company revised that number even lower, to 9,000 construction jobs. Meanwhile, both the federal government and the Global Labor Institute at Cornell University's College of Industrial and Labor Relations examined TransCanada's application and made their own job creation estimates, at 6,000-6,500 and 2,500-4,500 respectively. A State Department study projects only 35 permanent jobs in pipeline maintenance and inspection.
John Boehner 01-31-14 100,000 shovel ready jobs.John Hoeven 04-2012 as many as 200,000.

Hi VERTSITAS, remember me?
2 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, once pegged the number of potential pipeline jobs at being anywhere from "100,000 to one million."
A financial analysis paid for by TransCanada also said another 250,000 to 550,000 some spin-off jobs could be created over the 100-year life of the project.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation's largest business advocacy group, supports construction of the pipeline. Its president and chief executive officer, Thomas J. Donohue, called on the Obama administration to approve construction, saying it would create a quarter million new American jobs.
Boehner claimed later in January 2012 that the Keystone pipeline would create "over 100,000 indirect jobs" as well some 20,000 direct jobs.

A little nail bling always puts us in a good mood. Zoya's Gems and Jewels holiday collection features three metallic shimmers and three glitter glazes. Wear them alone or layer them to make your nails pop at your next party.
I really really love nail polish, but this color was just not for me! Maybe if I would have received one of the other holiday colors like the red or green glitter. The color I got reminded me of something I would have worn in middle school...2
It was nice to get a half-way normal color this time instead of the last ones that went out in the boxes. Those looked like liquid chalk or cement. Just horribly ugly colors. These at least have a shimmer to them. I still don't see the point in spending that much on polish unless it is OPI or something like that. Zoya is just not impressive. Plus I have yet to see any sheer colors from them.2
I love that the product doesn't have harsh chemicals, and the application was great. The product went on smoothly and covered pretty well with one coat and perfectly with a quick second coat. However, the colors just aren't for me. I received "Noel" which is the vibrant teal color with teal and silver shimmer. While it is a nice color, I tent to stick to more traditional (red, pink, neutral, gray, etc) colors, and would have loved to receive a more universally "wearable" shade.2

Sounds Venezuela
Friday 6 June 2014 - Sunday 8 June 2014
From Friday 6 to Sunday 8 June, Sounds Venezuela: Nucleo transforms Southbank Centre into a bustling musical neighbourhood.
Download a full timetable for the weekend here
Come and play, sing, listen and be inspired.
At the heart of the weekend we are pleased to welcome back the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra of Venezuela. The Orchestra perform a duo of concerts that showcase works by some of the best-loved classical composers, from Stravinsky's exotic Firebird Suite on Friday evening to Manuel de Falla's witty ballet, The Three-Cornered Hat on Sunday afternoon.
Everyone from young children to the keenest classical music fan will be able to enjoy these orchestral gems.
Plus throughout the weekend enjoy over 50 free events from Samba workshops to giant orchestras and ride-along rehearsals to giant ukulele jams!
The Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra of Venezuela is one of the most important products of the orchestral academic programme of the Fundación Musical "Simón Bolívar" (Fundamusical Bolívar) - or as it is commonly known, el Sistema.
Over the last decade Southbank Centre has been at the heart of the 'social transformation through music' movement in the UK, working closely with Maestro José Antonio Abreu (the Founder and Director of El Sistema), the conductor Gustavo Dudamel, and young musicians from el Sistema, all of whom are inspiring figures for artists and educationalists worldwide.
Our local 'nucleo' opens its doors Friday 6 June, Wheatsheaf Hall, 3pm – 4pm
Inspired by the hugely successful El Sistema programme in Venezuela, In Harmony Lambeth, in partnership with Southbank Centre, is our local version of a Venezuelan nucleo (music centre).
For nucleo 2014 they open their doors to allow members of the public to see their inspired programme in action. Young musicians from In Harmony programmes across England join together during this rehearsal to create the In Harmony Festival Orchestra, in preparation for their Royal Festival Hall performance on Saturday 7 June with the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra of Venezuela.

FitSugar's Fitness and Health for 2010
FitSugar's Fitness and Health for 2010
- Run a half marathon and train injury free. This is a but intimidating I have only raced in 5ks and triathlons with 4 mile runs as the last leg of the race, so upping my mileage to 13.1 seems huge, but I am excited. I also have a tendency to go overboard and end up hurting myself and this time I don't want to do that. I have my eye on a half marathon in the end of March, but I will keep you all posted.
- Swim a mile comfortably, which once again means upping my workouts. I think 2010 is the year of endurance for me.
- Floss daily — it may seem futile that I make this one almost every year, but I like recommitting to gum health annually. I have manged to floss the first nine days of the year and feel like I am on a roll.
- Eat five servings of fruits or veggies daily and I mean daily. I meet this goal often, but I really want to commit to upping plant intake so it become habitual rather than something I have to push myself to do.
- Last but not least, this year I want to conquer chin-up! By midnight on 12/31/10, I want to be able to pull myself up with an underhand grip three times. Might not seem like a lot, but all I can do is a half pull-up.
I am hoping my heart rate monitor will give me weekly feedback with this image of a trophy icon — its way of congratulating me for a week of hard work.

The multi-level perspective on sustainability transitions: Responses to seven criticismsFrank W. Geels
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 24-40
The multi-level perspective (MLP) has emerged as a fruitful middle-range framework for analysing socio-technical transitions to sustainability. The MLP also received constructive criticisms. This paper summarises seven criticisms, formulates responses to them, and translates these into suggestions for future research. The criticisms relate to: (1) lack of agency, (2) operationalization of regimes, (3) bias towards bottom-up change models, (4) epistemology and explanatory style, (5) methodology, (6) socio-technical landscape as residual category, and (7) flat ontologies versus hierarchical levels. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Environmental innovation and societal transitions: Introduction and overviewJeroen C J M Van Den Bergh | Bernhard Truffer | Giorgos Kallis
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 1-23
This article introduces the new journal Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions (EIST). We consider its key terms and offer a survey of relevant theoretical and empirical insights, policy issues and research challenges. Four theoretical approaches to studying sustainability transitions are identified. The treatise ends with a synopsis of the 19 articles in this inaugural issue and a list of suggested research themes. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Innovation system analyses and sustainability transitions: Contributions and suggestions for researchStaffan Jacobsson | Anna Bergek
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 41-57
This paper argues (1) that technology-specific policies are necessary if we are to meet the climate challenge and (2) that a main contribution of innovation system (IS) analysis to the study of sustainability transitions is that it allows policy makers to identify the processes and components in a system where intervention is likely to matter most. We demonstrate that an IS framework can identify a diverse set of system weaknesses in the field of environmental innovation and identify five venues for further research that can help strengthen the framework and improve its application to environmental innovations. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Engaging with the politics of sustainability transitionsJames Meadowcroft
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 70-75
Although recent scholarship has contributed to our understanding of sustainability transitions, more needs to be done to grasp the politics of these processes. What works and what does not work is being sorted out in the world of practical politics. But social science could contribute by drawing lessons from political experience and offering theoretical insights. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Space and scale in socio-Technical transitionsRob Ravena | Johan Schota | Frans Berkhoutb
Volume 4, Issue , September 2012, Pages 63-78
The multi-level perspective (MLP) is a widely adopted framework for analysing stability, change and transitions in socio-technical systems. Key to explanations of change is the interaction between nested levels (niche, regime, landscape) constituting socio-technical systems over time. This paper proposes a second generation, multi-scalar MLP that explicitly incorporates a spatial scale. Recent developments in innovation studies and contributions from regional studies and geography are reviewed. We draw on notions of space as being relational, fluid and contested by institutionally situated actors. Dynamics in socio-technical systems are explained not only by interactions between modes of structuration and developments over time, but also by interactions between actors and institutions situated across different levels of spatial scale. The paper explores the kinds of insights that might emerge from adopting a second generation MLP to socio-technical systems with a case study of biomass gasification in India. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Productivity and work in the 'green economy': Some theoretical reflections and empirical testsTim Jackson | Peter Victor
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 101-108
This paper explores the concept of productivity in post-growth economies. It defines the 'productivity trap' that arises from the systematic pursuit of labour productivity and describes two solutions to this trap, each of which has some precedence in economic theory. The first is to reduce working hours - the most frequently cited avenue to combat unemployment in non-growing economies. The second is to engage in structural shifts towards low productivity growth sectors. Using a simple simulation model of the UK economy we illustrate how these two strategies might combine to achieve 'deep' carbon emission reduction targets while maintaining high employment. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

The competitive environment of electric vehicles: An analysis of prototype and production modelsWilliam Sierzchula | Sjoerd Bakker | Kees Maat | Bert Van Wee
Volume 2, Issue , March 2012, Pages 49-65
This study analyzes the industrial dynamics of electric vehicles using product life cycle and eco-innovation concepts. A unique database of approximately 450 electric vehicle prototype and production models from 1991 to 2011 was collected and analyzed. This research largely focused on three factors that become fluid during a transitional era of ferment (the technology, the set of firms and the target market). Results show that since 2004, the number of companies producing electric vehicle (EV) models has substantially increased with startup firms comprising a majority of that growth. The variety of battery types used in EV models has expanded, largely through lithium-ion chemistries. Large incumbents and startup firms have targeted different consumer markets with their EV models. Startup firms developed EV models for niche markets (sports cars and low speed vehicles) while large incumbents generally developed EV models that are more in line with current customer demands. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Evaluation of energy storage technologies for integration with renewable electricity: Quantifying expert opinionsTugrul U. Daim | Xin Li | Jisun Kim | Scott Simms
Volume 3, Issue , June 2012, Pages 29-49
Solving climate change and the associated need for increasing renewable energy supply make energy storage a critical technological component of the future energy landscape. Research to build more reliable and cost-effective energy storage technologies is now on the rise. As a result, many new technologies and applications are evolving and competing. This paper presents a method to evaluate and select energy storage technologies for investor-owned or public utilities. For this purpose, energy storage applications which could benefit wind power in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States are identified through internal interviews and surveys with experts at the federal wholesale power marketing agency in Portland, Oregon. The study employs a technology evaluation process integrating fuzzy Delphi method, analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy consistent matrix. The result shows that compressed air storage is the most promising technology for sustainable growth of renewable energy in the region. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Pluralising progress: From integrative transitions to transformative diversityAndy Stirling
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 82-88
This paper examines key issues raised by consideration of diversity in the study of environmental innovation and societal transitions. In different ways and degrees, these implicate many contrasting perspectives, including innovation studies, evolutionary economics and transitions research. The paper therefore attends equally to the implications of plurality among disciplines as observing subjects and varieties of sociotechnical configurations as observed objects. Inspired by recent literatures in these fields, the argument focuses in turn on: contending social normativities concerning alternative directions for innovation; divergent disciplinary understandings of societal transitions; and disparate conceptualisations of sociotechnical diversity itself. In each area, the paper identifies some persistent forms of 'misplaced concreteness'. Recommendations are made as to how the implications of diversity might be addressed in more rigorous and reflective ways. In conclusion, it is shown how rigour and reflexivity themselves depend on plural analytical communities paying greater regard to diversity and striking their own balance between pluralism and concreteness. This highlights a series of specific, but hitherto unresolved, research questions. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
The elusive quest for technology-neutral policiesChristian Azar | Björn A. Sandén
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 135-139
It is often argued that policies to address climate change should be technology neutral. In this paper we address when and to what extent technology neutrality is warranted, and find that it is often an elusive objective that neither can nor should be prioritized as the main guiding principle. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Energy, complexity, and sustainability: A historical perspectiveJoseph A. Tainter
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 89-95
The common view of history assumes that complexity and resource consumption have emerged through innovation facilitated by surplus energy. This view leads to the supposition that complexity and consumption are voluntary, and that we can therefore achieve a sustainable future through conservation. Such an assumption is substantially incorrect. History suggests that complexity most commonly increases to solve problems, and compels increase in resource use. This process is illustrated by the history of the Roman Empire and its collapse. Problems are inevitable, requiring increasing complexity, and conservation is therefore insufficient to produce sustainability. Future sustainability will require continued high levels of energy consumption to address converging problems. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
The effects of climate policy on the rate and direction of innovation: A survey of the EU ETS and the electricity sectorTobias S. Schmidt | Malte Schneider | Karoline S. Rogge | Martin J A Schuetz | Volker H. Hoffmann
Volume 2, Issue , March 2012, Pages 23-48
This article aims to empirically assess the impact of climate policy on technological change-a core objective of climate policy-by focussing on the changes it causes in the rate and direction of corporate innovation activities. To this end, we develop a cross-sectional framework based on concepts from evolutionary economics and organizational theory and, resting upon this framework, develop a set of hypotheses. We test these hypotheses using novel survey data on the electricity sector in seven EU countries. We find that the EU emission trading system (ETS) has limited and even controversial effects, and that long-term emission reduction targets are an important determinant of corporate innovation activities. Furthermore, technology policies emerge as an important element of the policy mix complementing climate policy. Based on our findings in this study, we make recommendations for policy makers on how to improve the existing policy mix. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
The impact of the financial-economic crisis on sustainability transitions: Financial investment, governance and public discourseFrank W. Geels
Volume 6, Issue , March 2013, Pages 67-95
The paper distinguishes four views on the impact of the financial-economic crisis on sustainability transitions (operationalized as diffusion of green niche-innovations). The first three views highlight the possibility of positive impacts of the financial-economic crisis on sustainability transitions and joint solutions: (a) a comprehensive transformation of the capitalist system, (b) a green Industrial Revolution, linked to a sixth green Kondratieff wave, and (c) green growth. The fourth view perceives the impact as mainly negative, because the financial-economic crisis weakens public, political and business attention for environmental problems. The paper confronts these views with secondary data on three analytical categories: (1) financial investment, (2) policy and governance, and (3) public opinion and civil society. Data focus on renewable energy and climate policy in the UK, Europe and the world. The paper concludes that the early crisis years (2008-2010) created a window of opportunity for positive solutions. But since 2010-2011 this window appears to be shrinking, with the financial-economic crisis having negative influences on sustainability transitions that may cause some slow-down. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

A grassroots sustainable energy niche? Reflections on community energy in the UKGill Seyfang | Sabine Hielscher | Tom Hargreaves | Mari Martiskainen | Adrian Smith
Volume 13, Issue , January 2014, Pages 21-44
© 2014 The Authors.System-changing innovations for sustainability transitions are proposed to emerge in radical innovative niches. 'Strategic Niche Management' theory predicts that niche-level actors and networks will aggregate learning from local projects, disseminating best practice, and encouraging innovation diffusion. Grassroots innovations emerging from civil society are under-researched, and so we investigate the UK community energy sector to empirically test this model. Our analysis draws on qualitative case study research with local projects, and a study of how intermediary organisations support local projects. We examine the extent and nature of interactions and resource flows between projects and intermediary actors in order to evaluate the utility of niche theories in the civil society context. While networking and intermediary organisations can effectively spread some types of learning necessary for diffusion, this is not sufficient: tacit knowledge, trust and confidence are essential to these projects' success, but are more difficult to abstract and translate to new settings. We discuss the implications of our findings for niche theory, for community energy and other grassroots practitioners aiming to build robust influential niches, and for policymakers.
Sustainable urban development and the multi-Level transition perspectivePetter Nææss | Nina Vogel
Volume 4, Issue , September 2012, Pages 36-50
This article discusses some challenges and possible adaptations of transition theory as a framework for analyzing the prospects for environmentally more sustainable development of urban land use and transport infrastructure. Rather than depending first and foremost on niche innovations, a transition toward sustainable urban development is a matter of changing the composition of existing multi-segmented land use and transportation regimes. Those well-experienced forms of built environment and transport infrastructure that are in line with sustainability objectives should be strengthened while those that are not should be actively constrained and reduced. Urban development in a Danish provincial city is used as a case to illustrate some of the points made in the theoretical part of the article. Due to the wide gap between present conditions and those required to realize a sustainable urban development, more attention should be directed toward landscape level conditions and possibilities for changing them. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Breaking out of sustainability impasses: How to apply frame analysis, reframing and transition theory to global health challengesAnne Jerneck | Lennart Olsson
Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011, Pages 255-271
We combine frame analysis and transition theory into a thinking tool in sustainability science and analyse three serious and persistent problems in global health subject to sustainability impasses: Hiv/AIDS, malaria, and indoor air pollution. Frame analysis identifies how problems are encased by scientific understandings and captured by transition barriers: Policy cooptation, technoinstitutional lock-in, and knowledge trap. Transition theory locates the transition barriers on a temporal scale and a conceptual level: Landscape, regime, and niches. Frame analysis reveals how problems are embedded in particular narratives while reframing stimulates alternative understandings and problem solutions. Boundary work facilitates knowledge integration across units and transition management promotes actor oriented problem resolution. The thinking tool unites critical with problem solving research and ties reframing to analytical and temporal understandings of social change. The aim is dual: To advance methodology while stimulating critical problem solving in the quest for environmental innovations, social justice and sustainability. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Transition policy and innovation policy: Friends or foes?Floortje Alkemade | Marko P. Hekkert | Simona O. Negro
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 125-129
There is a potential for misalignment between innovation policy and transition policy. This misalignment might hamper sustainability transitions. This paper discusses the sources of the incompatibilities between innovation and transition policy and gives policy recommendations on how to increase the area of alignment. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

The geography of sustainability transitions: Review, synthesis and reflections on an emergent research fieldTeis Hansen | Lars Coenen
Volume 17, Issue , December 2015, Pages 92-109
© 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.This review covers the recent literature on the geography of sustainability transitions and takes stock with achieved theoretical and empirical insights. The review synthesises and reflects upon insights of relevance for sustainability transitions following from analyses of the importance of place specificity and the geography of inter-organisational relations. It is found that these contributions focus on the geography of niche development rather than regime dynamics, and that there is an emphasis on understanding the importance of place-specificity at the local level. While there is a wide consensus that place-specificity matters there is still little generalisable knowledge about how place-specificity matters for transitions. Most contributions add spatial sensitivity to frameworks from the transitions literature, but few studies suggest alternative frameworks to study sustainability transitions. To address this, the review suggests promising avenues for future research on the geography of sustainability transitions, drawing on recent theoretical advancements in economic geography.
On patterns and agency in transition dynamics: Some key insights from the KSI programmeJohn Grin | Jan Rotmans | Johan Schot
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 76-81
The transition perspective on promoting sustainable development recognizes a need for not merely new societal practices, but changes in the structures in which these practices are embedded, and which have co-evolved with earlier practices ('the regime'). This article presents insights on the dynamics of sustainable transitions, developed within the context of the Dutch KSI programme, and identifies issues for further research. Two perspectives, the sociotechnical approach and the complex adaptive systems approach, have yielded typologies of transition trajectories. We discuss similarities of, and differences between, these. Third, the governance perspective has generated insights about the agency involved, including powering and legitimization. While the latter offers some response to scholarly criticism that earlier transition theory too much ignored aspects of power and legitimacy, more research is obviously needed. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

District heating in the UK: A Technological Innovation Systems analysisDavid J C Hawkey
Volume 5, Issue , January 2012, Pages 19-32
© 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.District heating infrastructure could contribute to the UK's energy policy goals of decarbonisation, renewable energy deployment, tackling fuel poverty and ensuring energy security. However, while a number of schemes have been developed over the last decade, deployment of the technology remains limited. This paper adopts a Technological Innovation Systems framework to ask what the principal challenges are to significantly scaling up the deployment of DH in the UK. While district heating networks are inherently local infrastructures, they are positioned in regulatory and market contexts organised at larger spatial scales, making geography an important factor and coordination across spatial scales an important policy area for accelerated deployment.
The dual challenge of sustainability transitionsRené Kemp | Harro Van Lente
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 121-124
In this essay we argue that sustainability transitions include two challenges: on the one hand a long-term change to various technologies and infrastructures, while on the other hand ensuring that consumer criteria change in the same move. Transitions that fail to do so will disappoint in the end. We review two sustainability-oriented transitions where criteria have changed: the hygienic transition around 1900 and the waste management transitions at the end of the 20th century. While in these cases the values, perceptions and criteria of people changed as part of the transition, this does not seem to apply to sustainable mobility and energy, where the main target is decarbonisation. What is missing is a reconsideration of individual mobility and conspicuous energy use. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Resilience and sustainability in the face of disastersAdam Rose
Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2011, Pages 96-100
Very few of the large number of major disasters in recent years have threatened the survival of the host region. Improvements in conditions underlying sustainability have helped in this regard, as has inherent and adaptive resilience associated with disaster recovery. Sharp breaks from the past do not appear to be the norm, but opportunities for major transitions do increase in the aftermath of disasters. This paper examines some major types of resilience that have been effective and encourages their incorporation into long-term recovery and mitigation strategies. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Unleashing a golden age after the financial collapse: Drawing lessons from historyCarlota Perez
Volume 6, Issue , March 2013, Pages 9-23
The current crisis is not a "black swan" but a recurrent historical event midway along the successive technological revolutions. In contrast with other crises, the ones that follow the major technology bubbles install a vast innovation potential that can be unleashed with adequate government policies. The so-called golden ages in the past two centuries (the Victorian boom, the Belle Époque, the post war golden age) have followed post-bubble recessions. After governments save the banks and jump-start the economy, they need to regulate and reorient finance toward the real economy while fostering synergistic growth in agreed directions. The article holds that the possibility is there for unleashing a golden age-national and global-by tilting the playing field in favor of "green growth". The question is whether the conditions for government to become proactive again are as favorable as after WWII. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Anchoring of innovations: Assessing Dutch efforts to harvest energy from glasshousesBoelie Elzen | Barbara Van Mierlo | Cees Leeuwis
Volume 5, Issue , January 2012, Pages 1-18
© 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.In the multi-level perspective (MLP), two key levels are socio-technical regimes and technological niches. The linking processes between these levels, however, are not well understood. We use the concept of anchoring as a starting point towards a theory of linking and distinguish three forms: technological, network and institutional anchoring. Our case study concerns attempts to reduce energy consumption in the Dutch glasshouse horticulture sector, consisting of a variety of alternative energy approaches. Distinguishing the three forms of anchoring appears to be useful for studying and understanding the interactions between novelty, niche and regime. The study reveals that 'hybrid actors' and 'hybrid forums' play a crucial role in bringing about various forms of anchoring. These findings are not only of analytical interest, but also relevant for practitioners who desire to induce system innovation to contribute to sustainability.
Green tides in Brittany: What can we learn about niche-regime interactions?Marion Diaz | Ika Darnhofer | Catherine Darrot | Jean Eudes Beuret
Volume 8, Issue , September 2013, Pages 62-75
The coasts of Brittany (France) have witnessed algae blooms leading to 'green tides' since the 1970s. These are a typical example of a persistent environmental problem linked to intensive agriculture. We focus on how a mature niche, which proposes an extensive farming system, has extended its network, linked with the regime and drawn in resources. Within the Multi-Level Perspective, this case study is used to better understand the dynamics of niche-regime interactions. Using an ANT-based approach, we show how the network around the niche has evolved over the decades, how it adapted its core message, built alliances with diverse actors at niche and regime level, and recognized opportunities created by landscape pressures. This active work of building bridges through reinterpretation, of enrolling regime actors, of seizing windows of opportunity, highlights the 'social' aspect of social-technical transitions.© 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Architect's underworld
Annelisse Molini is an architect who creates bizarre underworlds, filled with secret, red doors, mysterious elevators and impossibly tall ladders to nowhere - in paintings.
Molini, who is from Puerto Rico and got her master's in architecture and urban planning at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, gave up the practice of architecture and turned to painting when a research project became a more personal, spiritual quest.
She was studying the physical role that Catholic churches held in public squares in Puerto Rico, she said. What began to interest her a few years ago instead, however, was the place churches held in the emotional, spiritual lives of people - herself included.
Church facades appear physically weighted down by the frenetic urban scenes around them in Molini's large, acrylic paintings. The works are reminiscent of Giovanni Battista Piranesi's subterranean labyrinths of drawbridges and staircases from the 19th century and have a similar apocalyptic feel.
Here's a peek at the show, opening tomorrow at Latino Arts, Inc. with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m.
