Infrastrukturen der Stadt

Zusammenfassung

Ziel des Beitrags ist es, die Herausforderungen umweltpolitischer Reformpolitiken im Bereich technischer Infrastrukturen am Beispiel der Stadt Los Angeles herauszuarbeiten und die sozio-technischen Anpassungs- und Innovationsmuster einer kritischen Analyse zu unterziehen. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, ob und auf welche Weise ambitionierte ökologische Energie- und Wasserpolitiken die bestehenden Infrastrukturregime verändern und wie diese auf den wachsenden Reformdruck reagieren. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass sowohl das Energie- als auch das Wasserregime in Los Angeles in der Lage waren, auf den steigenden politischen Druck mit inkrementellen Anpassungsstrategien innerhalb der bestehenden Regimestrukturen zu reagieren, ohne dass etablierte Regelstrukturen und Akteurskonstellationen grundlegend destabilisiert wurden.
