| Sumario: | "Sustainability" is used strategically in urban governance; it is a means as well as an end. Some argue that the focus often lies on the former. The point of this paper is not to show that "sustainability" is used to achieve a diverse set of goals, but rather how this is done. The article starts with three stories about the transformations of three post-industrial cities (Malmö, Essen, Almada) and lays out how the transformations have been enacted (or not), thus demonstrating the dynamic and context-specific way "sustainability" is put to work in urban governance. Further, the argument is that stories, due to their ontological entanglements, may well be more than "good stories". In and through stories, "sustainability" as an urban governance issue is un/made along with certain kinds of post-industrial cities. The article points out how stories make sustainability marketable while unmaking it as something that requires fundamental change. Moreover, the claim is that these two stories make competitive post-industrial cities and unmake connections between industrial pasts and global environmental challenges. Nevertheless, they also cause critique and dispute and might pave the way for different dis/connections. "Održivost" se u urbanom upravljanju koristi strateški; ona je sredstvo i cilj. Neki autori tvrde da fokus često leži na prvom. Svrha ovog rada nije pokazati da se "održivost" koristi za postizanje drugih ciljeva, već utvrditi kako se to radi. Članak počinje s tri priče o transformacijama triju postindustrijskih gradova (Malmöa, Essena, Almade) i pokazuje kako se "održivost" aktivira (u) pričama. Održivost se koristi za preuređenje bivših industrijskih gradova kako bi se prevladali učinci industrijskog pada i preoblikovale industrijske prošlosti. Nadalje, autorica argumentira da priče mogu biti više od "dobrih priča". Razlog je to što su ontološki isprepletene. U pričama i kroz priče "održivost" kao pitanje urbanog upravljanja (ni)je oblikovana, kao ni određene vrste postindustrijskih gradova. Članak ukazuje na to kako priče čine održivost tržišnom i kako je razotkrivaju kao nešto što zahtijeva temeljnu promjenu. Štoviše, zaključak je da dvije priče poništavaju veze između industrijske prošlosti i globalnih ekoloških izazova te da čine konkurentne postindustrijske gradove. |
