Abstract

This article aims to demonstrate how critical urban geography and Urban Political Ecology(UPE) can provide analytical tools to fully incorporate the social dimension in SustainableUrban Drainage Systems (SUDS), overcoming ageographical and depoliticized understand-ings of sustainable stormwater transitions. Through its socio-technical framework, Sustain-ability Transitions Theory (STT) has contributed significantly to the discourses aroundgovernance, infrastructure and management of the new stormwater paradigm from hazard toresource. However, the theory fails to recognise the complexities that geographical, historicaland political dynamics introduce into this process, as questions arise regarding why,how and for whom stormwater becomes a resource. The article argues that UPE can offerinsights into why and how drainage transitions may take place in specific contexts, con -sidering aspects of sustainability, social equity, justice and democracy.
