Abstract | This study aimed to understand how a structure reconfiguration contributes to an inclusive sociotechnical transition. A case study was carried out in Fortaleza city, Brazil, between 2017 and 2019 focused on two integrated sharing mobility initiatives (i.e. bike sharing and e-carsharing). Findings show that the public-private partnership created to implement these initiatives was possible through the integration of various sociotechnical actors, who play multiple roles and develop strategies to institutionalise the sustainable shared mobility program. Findings reveal that such integration, which occurs by collective actions promoted by the state, third sector, community, and market, changed the city's dynamic towards an inclusive sustainability transition. We mapped insights into how the roles and responsibilities of the actors involved accelerate the sustainability transition. This paper contributes to theory and practice by illustrating a transition model using a local perspective that supports the institutionalisation of a sustainable mobility transition. |
