“…in how far learning has effects only on the instruments and techniques used (single-loop), or also on actor coalitions, strategies and approaches (double-loop), or even on deeply entrenched paradigms, institutions and practices (tripleloop) (Reed et al, 2010;Johnson et al, 2015, p. 237). The latter closely corresponds to the notion of transformative learning (Forester, 1999;Loeber, 2007), which additionally underlines that triple-loop social learning needs to be situated, stressing the importance of context, personal exchange and learning-by-doing as critical conditions. In order to have transformative effects, governance learning thus needs to be(come) an embedded process (cf.…”

“…Central to the urban transformative capacity framework is an emphasis on key forms of agency and interaction, place-based and networked, and their interweaving through social learning (Cramer and Loeber 2004;Loeber 2007). As illustrated in Fig.…”

Urban regeneration forms a key approach for coping with persistent sustainability problems in cities. In practice, however, it is often driven by motives other than sustainability transformation. This paper explores the preconditions that allow urban regeneration approaches to become transformative, and suggests a methodology to support this shift in practice. It does so by assessing the capacity available to prepare for, initiate, and steer a pathdeviant sustainability transformation of urban areas in three South Korean cities, jointly with stakeholders. The findings reflect how local policy largely supports a conservative development pathway, favored by national government, sidelining especially ecological implications. Major deficits exist regarding systems thinking, sustainability foresight, and social learning processes, while collective visioning, intermediation, community empowerment, and repositioning science could become instant drivers. In conclusion, assessing transformative capacity offers a crucial lever to design urban-regeneration approaches for unlearning dominant development paradigms and to experimentally reconfigure urban social-ecologicaltechnological systems.

“…In an insightful review of this literature, Loeber has outlined the main features of this rich understanding of phronèsis: it concerns the collective and is thus not necessarily a private virtue; it reflects the interface between the reflective and the practical order; and it is principally a transformative capacity, oriented to designing both action and transformation (Loeber 2007). Drawing on philosophical hermeneutics and pragmatism, she then argues that these elements imply that knowledge production:…”
