“…Previous studies have found networks to increase adoption of sustainability and climate change policy (Curley et al 2021; Pitt 2010; Rashidi and Patt 2018). Here, we found that although USDN membership is negatively associated with engineering resilience policy, membership in 100RC positively influenced enactment of engineering and community resilience policies.…”

This paper seeks to identify which resilience-oriented policies are being enacted and factors that influence policy adoption. We develop clusters of policies related to three types of resilience: ecological, engineering, and community. Among large U.S. cities, we find wide variation in the number and type of policies enacted. Through multivariate analysis, we identify factors that are associated with the adoption of these policies. Similar to earlier work on sustainability and climate change policy, our results show that larger cities are more likely to adopt all three types of resilience policies. Wealthier and liberal cities adopt more ecological resilience policies. Cities that are members of city networks also adopt more policies, but not all networks significantly influence policy adoption suggesting that network goals and connections are important. We also find that among these large cities, it is the smaller of them that appear to benefit most from membership in networks.

“…These factors combine to suggest that the city governments should have similar levels of control and capacity to offer solar programs. Furthermore, by focusing on two cities with MOUs, we can ensure that they have the same internal capacity related to the programming and do not face investor-owned utilities' barriers (Homsy, 2016;Curley et al, 2021).…”

Numerous recent calls have been made for policy design research to embed itself throughout the policy process and explore avenues for matching tools and targets. These calls have argued that policy design research, while emphasizing the content and the choice of design, has been under-leveraged, particularly in exploring rationales for effectiveness. In this paper, we conduct a comparative case study to explore variation in participation rates for two similarly categorized solar policies across two mid-sized cities. In this regard, three contextual factors are examined, including the population characteristics, the existing configuration of policies, and the physical environment, which all contribute to shaping policy effectiveness. We argue that policy design is situated within an explicit context and that without capturing the context, the effectiveness of policies may not translate if diffused.
