The contributors share expertise on institutional innovation and philosophical pragmatism. They discuss the different facets of these two conceptual frameworks and explore the alternative combinations through which they can be approached. The relevance of these conceptual lines of thought will be exemplified in exploring the contemporary practices of sustainable (climate-proof) urban transition. The aim of the handbook is to give a boost to the turn of institutional analysis in the context of action in changing cities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBoth philosophical pragmatism and institutional innovation rest on wide international uses in social sciences and planning studies, and may be considered as complementary for many reasons. However, the combination of these different approaches is all but evident and creates a number of dilemmas. After an encompassing introductory section entitled Institutions in Action, the handbook is further divided into the following sections: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstitutional innovation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePragmatism: The Dimension of Action\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOn Justification\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCultural and Political Institutions in Action\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstitutions and Urban Transition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWillem Salet\u003c\/strong\u003e is professor emeritus of urban and regional planning at the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
