“Pub­lic gov­er­nance strat­e­gy as agile fore­sight for 5G imple­men­ta­tion” in the Euro­pean Pub­lic Mosa­ic review

Cities are com­plex socio-tech­ni­cal with inter­de­pen­dent sys­tems. The imple­men­ta­tion of 5G infra­struc­ture con­fronts them with a dis­rup­tive tech­nol­o­gy. We devel­op a con­cep­tu­al frame­work that con­sid­ers the mul­ti­ple issues and inter­ests involved in the deploy­ment of a 5G and its imple­men­ta­tion: dis­rup­tive tech­nol­o­gy, adap­tive gov­er­nance and pub­lic val­ue. These three streams pro­vide a mul­ti-lev­el pic­ture to bet­ter under­stand the dynam­ics of place in a munic­i­pal orga­ni­za­tion to proac­tive­ly think about the future man­age­ment of 5G and could be help­ful to build fore­sight in the imple­men­ta­tion of urban gov­er­nance mechanisms.

‘Urban resilience imple­men­ta­tion: A pol­i­cy chal­lenge and research agen­da for the 21st cen­tu­ry’ in Jour­nal of Con­tin­gen­cies and Cri­sis Management

In this arti­cle pub­lished in the Jour­nal of Con­tin­gen­cies and Cri­sis Man­age­ment and co-authored by Jon Coaf­fee, Marie‐Christine Ther­rien, Loren­zo Chel­leri, Daniel Hen­stra, Daniel P. Aldrich, Car­rie L. Mitchell, Sasha Tsenko­va, we iden­ti­fy four research pri­or­i­ties to bet­ter under­stand and inform the imple­men­ta­tion of urban resilience. The inten­tion of this paper is to open up a new dia­logue and a research line where­by aca­d­e­mics prac­ti­tion­ers and pol­i­cy­mak­ers can learn from the expe­ri­ences of oth­ers and can col­lec­tive­ly advance resilience imple­men­ta­tion, in all its forms, at the city scale.

‘Includ­ing qual­i­ty in Social net­work analy­sis to fos­ter dia­logue in urban resilience and adap­ta­tion poli­cies ’ in Envi­ron­men­tal Sci­ence & Policy

The capac­i­ties of orga­ni­za­tion­al actors increase when they are linked in net­work rela­tion­ships, espe­cial­ly when con­fronting com­plex prob­lems such as cli­mate change adap­ta­tion and the devel­op­ment of resilience. This Social Net­work Analy­sis (SNA) of orga­ni­za­tions work­ing on adap­ta­tion to cli­mate change and resilience on the ter­ri­to­ry of Mon­tréal was con­duct­ed to pro­vide insights into the imple­men­ta­tion of poli­cies in these areas. The analy­sis reveals a fair­ly uni­form net­work with orga­ni­za­tion­al links grav­i­tat­ing around two poles: one focused on local action and the oth­er on pol­i­cy design. The den­si­ty of rela­tion­ships is weak over­all, and there is medi­um cen­tral­iza­tion around the City of Mon­tréal. While cen­tral­iza­tion is ben­e­fi­cial for coor­di­na­tion, a struc­ture involv­ing more dis­tinct sub-net­works linked to cen­tral actors by bound­ary (bro­ker) orga­ni­za­tions would improve prospects for inno­va­tion and effi­cien­cy. Analy­sis of the qual­i­ty of rela­tion­ships high­lights impor­tant dif­fer­ences between what fos­ters good rela­tions in each of the poles, reduc­ing the chances that poli­cies devel­oped in the pol­i­cy-ori­ent­ed pole will be imple­ment­ed in the action-ori­ent­ed pole. Over­all, this study empha­sizes the rel­e­vance of net­work analy­sis in under­stand­ing prospects for pol­i­cy imple­men­ta­tion in com­plex areas such as resilience and cli­mate change adaptation.

‘The Def­i­n­i­tion of Urban Resilience: A Trans­for­ma­tion Path Towards Col­lab­o­ra­tive Urban Risk Gov­er­nance’ in Urban Resilience for Risk and Adap­ta­tion Governance

This chap­ter pub­lished in Urban Resilience for Risk and Adap­ta­tion Gov­er­nance and writ­ten by Julie-Maude Nor­mandin, Marie-Chris­tine Ther­rien, Mark Pelling and Shona Pat­ter­son, explain how resilience is pre­sent­ed in the lit­er­a­ture as, var­i­ous­ly, a par­a­digm change, a gov­er­nance mod­el to bet­ter man­age com­plex issues, and a des­ti­na­tion to reach. 

Also, we analyse how pub­lic man­agers and bureau­crats respon­si­ble for imple­men­ta­tion in Lon­don and Mon­tréal have inter­pret­ed and used resilience. Final­ly, we dis­cuss how par­a­digm change, gov­er­nance trans­for­ma­tion and goal attain­ment per­spec­tives end up con­verg­ing into a rel­a­tive­ly sim­i­lar mean­ing in both cities.

Report : Map of actors work­ing on adap­ta­tion to cli­mate change and resilience devel­op­ment in Montréal

How to orga­nize to adapt to cli­mate change and devel­op the resilience of the island of Montréal? 


Our team ana­lyzes the col­lab­o­ra­tion and coor­di­na­tion between 168 orga­ni­za­tions work­ing on these issues on the island’s ter­ri­to­ry. To bet­ter under­stand how this ecosys­tem works, please con­sult our report (Only in French ) pub­lished by Oura­nos this year as part of its Built Envi­ron­ment Pro­gram.
