Academics and policy-makers are increasingly being challenged to acknowledge that their knowledge is necessary but insufficient in addressing the complex challenges associated with global urbanization. But few studies offer a coherent framing of how actors from academia, policy and local communities can interface and build synergies for resolving urban sustainability challenges. This paper presents three parameters along which science–policy–practice interfaces for urban sustainability can be understood. The three parameters are: (1) co-framing research agendas; (2) co-designing methodologies; and (3) co-experimentation of scalable solutions. Co-framing research agendas speaks to the process of jointly developing research problems and questions from on a particular or interrelated set of urban sustainability challenges. Co-designing methodologies centers on the spectrum of approaches and methods for generating and sharing knowledge that is scientifically credible, relevant to policy and socially valuable. Co-experimentation refers to testing or taking to scale locally-embedded solutions that can resonate with systemic change at wider scales. To illustrate the contextual meanings and dynamics of these three parameters, case studies of interfaces amongst academic and non-academic actors are presented from cities of Durban, Stellenbosch and Kampala. The case studies demonstrate that all the parameters mean altering the positionality of local communities and policy-makers, from end-users to co-bearers of knowledge with scientists from academia. None of the case studies indicates that one parameter is a step to another, rather the emphasis is on reflexive modes of collaboration amongst the actors involved to permit the co-production of knowledge.

敞开大门:在非洲尝试科学,政策和实践的接口以促进城市的可持续发展
越来越多的学者和决策者要认识到,他们的知识是必需的,但不足以应对与全球城市化相关的复杂挑战。但是,很少有研究对来自学术界,政策界和地方社区的参与者如何进行互动和建立协同作用以解决城市可持续性挑战提供一致的框架。本文提出了三个参数,通过这些参数可以理解城市可持续发展的科学,政策,实践界面。这三个参数是:(1)共同制定研究议程;(2)共同设计方法;(3)可扩展解决方案的共同实验。共同制定研究议程涉及共同解决一组特定或相关的城市可持续性挑战中的研究问题和问题的过程。共同设计方法论着重于产生和共享科学上可信的,与政策相关的和具有社会价值的知识的方法和方法的范围。共同实验是指测试或扩展可在更大范围内与系统变化产生共鸣的本地嵌入式解决方案。为了说明这三个参数的上下文含义和动态,从德班,斯泰伦博斯和坎帕拉等城市进行了学术界和非学术界参与者之间的接口案例研究。案例研究表明,所有参数都意味着改变了当地社区和政策制定者的位置,从最终用户到与学术界科学家共同承担知识的人。没有一个案例研究表明一个参数是另一个参数的一步,
