Summary:

The Routledge Handbook of Institutions andPlanning in Actioncontains a selection of 25 chapters prepared by specialized international scholars of urban planning and urban studies focusingon the question of how institutional innovation occursin practices of action. The contributors share expertise on institutional innovation and philosophical pragmatism. They discuss the different facets of these two conceptual frameworks and explore the alternative combinations through which they can be approached. The relevance of these conceptual lines of thought will be exemplified in exploring the contemporary practices of sustainable (climate-proof) urban transition. The aim of the handbook is to give a boost to the turn of institutional analysis in the context of action in changing cities.Both philosophical pragmatism andinstitutional innovation rest on wide international uses in social sciences and planning studies, and may be considered as complementary for many reasons. However, the combination of these different approaches is all but evident and creates a number of dilemmas. After an encompassing introductory section entitledInstitutions in Action, the handbook is furtherdivided into the following sections:Cultural and Political Institutions in ActionInstitutional innovationInstitutions and Urban TransitionOn JustificationPragmatism: The Dimension of Action.
