(A guest post by Steve Shaw).

Government is then required not just to consult, but to try to reach agreement on the implementation of those proposals.

Energy Cities report explores Transition in Kinsale
Here’s something you might find to be a useful resource. It is a study produced by Energy Cities called “Governance and Vision: Visions of Cities towards a low-energy future”. It contains a very good section on Transition in Kinsale (although they perhaps didn’t get that Kinsale is a town, not a city…). It contains several other interesting case studies, and is available to browse online in that format where the pages actually turn over before your very eyes, as well as making the sound of a turning page, a format that I still find amazing and am quite awed by.
