Social innovations are people-centred collaborative solutions, activating the urban ecosystem for change and providing platforms for citizens, civic organizations, the private sector, and governmental institutions to collaborate towards the goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The book, based on work developed within the EU-funded project NetZeroCities, which aims to support over 100 European cities to be climate-neutral by 2030, outlines methods, cases, and pathways of social innovation in Europe. It presents social innovation design process pathways through methods, categories of actions, and related cases for developing and scaling social innovations at the urban level, contributing to a systemic approach to tackle the grand challenge of reaching net zero. Within these pages, researchers and policymakers can find examples of cities that have deployed innovative public administration practices by systemically embedding social innovation in varied fields of urban action plans, including energy, citizen engagement, and behavioural change for lowering carbon emissions and increasing well-being. 410 0$aPoliMI SpringerBriefs,$x2282-2585 606 $aClimatology 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 606 $aUrban Economics 606 $aUrban Sociology 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 14$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aInnovation and Technology Management. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 676 $a551.6 702 $aBresciani$b Sabrina$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910997096003321 996 $aSocial Innovation Projects for Climate Neutral Cities$94375787 997 $aUNINA
