Mapping and distillation of previous EU-funded research projects identified eleven approaches in this cluster:
- Anti-gentrification practices
- Ecological economics
- Political ecology
- Intersectionality: gender, migration and multiculturalism
- Post‐Carbon Urbanism concept development
- "Landscape of resistance"
- Environmental Justice (EJ) in marginalized communities
- multi-scalar understanding of spatial justice
- Innovative solutions for just mobility
- Scaling and connecting of transition initiatives for low-carbon society
- Community based sustainability initiatives
- Urban resilience understanding
An interview with Marilyn Hamilton of Integral City emphasised the importance of the integral approach, which integrates multiple perspectives within a meta-framework recognising that all phenomena have both interior/exterior and individual/collective dimensions, and develop and evolve in each of these. Approaches to sustainability and justice tend to emphasise exterior dimensions of phenomena, and in particular to overlook the caring qualities prominent in inner dimensions and essential for justice. Inclusion is another important feature of an integral approach, which honours pluralism and recognises that all perspectives express some degree of relative truth and bring valid insights into complex problems. Locating different perspectives on the integral map allows each to be honoured in its own terms, and enables collaboration towards inclusive action.
