ABSTRACT
We set out in this book to understand what kind of low carbon Britain is emerging and what it looks like. In doing this our aim was to bring social, political and geographical contextual relevance to what have often been decontextualised debates about low carbon futures. Moving from techno-economic debates around low carbon futures to also engage with behavioural change strategies, we opened up the issue of forms of finance, knowledge and governance arrangements, and how the ways in which these are configured in relation to cities and regions illustrate the ways in which generic and local forms of low carbon knowledge are arranged to achieve specific ends for coalitions of interests.
