As different as the rhetoric of environmentalism and urban community action seem to be, they speak to the fi eld’s growing interest in activism and public engagement. They are also struggling with a shared couple of questions: how to elicit and validate local knowledge alongside discourseswhether discourses of policy, science or bureaucracy-that tend to dismiss it, and how to combine local knowledge with impact that is at once transformative and sustainable.
