Using the example of district energy in a number of UK cities, the article outlines the ways in which the structure of national electricity markets and the activities of the energy regulator influence and shape the development of low-carbon

Shared practice and converging views in nuclear waste management : long-term relations between implementer and regulator in Sweden
Based on a review of the implementer’s Research, Development and Demonstration programmes, the management and disposal of nuclear waste and interviews with representatives of the implementer, regulator, and NGOs, this paper analyses the outcomes
of these long-term interactions. It then discusses the potentially serious problems this creates in relation to knowledge production in the planning and environmental impact assessment process and problems now the regulator is set to review the final application
. The tendency of the values and priorities of implementer and regulator to converge over time, due to sustained social interaction, is a new phenomenon, which could not only impede the safety of nuclear waste management, but also risks occurring in other

conséquences la volonté de réguler leurs mouvements et les lieux habités par ces populations. Elle conclut par les limites de la gestion des déchets urbains et la manière dont les Roms se sont appropriés ces espaces interstitiels, devenant ainsi le premier

of territorial structures of growth facilitation provides a conceptual framework for taking forward research on the relationship between state spatial regulation, state restructuring, and the competitiveness of city-regions.
