Pathways towards sustainable urban transport development. Investigating the transferability of Munich best practice in collaborative stakeholder dialogue to the context of Sydney

This paper starts with an introduction to collaborative stakeholder dialogue and its contribution to sustainable development, illustrated by the Munich case study. It then reviews existing theory on transferability, concluding that while existing guidelines provide valuable instructions for transferring individual policies they face limitations with regards to governance processes that require fundamental changes in the way stakeholders interact. To fill this gap it develops a framework of preconditions for process transferability based on lessons from Munich and other case studies. In the final section it tests this framework in the context of Sydney, based on a series of discussions with key transport stakeholders.
