Abstract

This chapter describes how entrepreneurial policy makers, researcher and professionals in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, support the transition to a water resilient city. It identifies the capacities needed to work systematically on transformative change: stewarding, unlocking, transforming and orchestrating. This framework of transformative governance is illustrated with practical examples that show it is both possible and challenging to make the transition. A resilient city is a city that can adapt, develop and renew beyond institutional fragmentation and inertia. To work across silos, to experimentally develop and empower social innovation and to scale and diffuse sustainable alternatives require a long-term commitment, a strategic transition perspective and a diverse set of capacities, skills and competences to come together. This chapter offers a practical and coherent perspective on how cities can work to make this transition.
