Abstract
There is a need to rethink technical infrastructure for energy and
water provision and for handling sewage and solic waste due to
environmental problems related to the current large-scale systems.
From the authors point of view this includes a shift towards
combining bottom-up strategies with top-down strategies instead of
seeing such strategies as incompatible. Today´s planning practice
and the momentum of the established systems require new forums for
stratgic debates if urban ecology is to be included in future
network management. A methodolgy is presented for structuring a
debate on future sustainable systems, which includes new actors
with very different viewpoints on network management in the debate
on the transformation process.
