Making cities less environmentally degrading is a preeminent challenge of sustainable development. Cities are intrinsically complex and characterized by multiple intersecting and interdependent systems designed to meet basic needs, support economic growth, and enhance opportunity and quality of life. To explore how two key sustainability initiatives emerged and became institutionalized in Florianopolis, Brazil, an integrated approach was developed that draws from the social-ecological systems framework as well as concepts of strategic action fields to understand the role of collective action in instigating shifts in the urban institutional environment. This case study suggests that sustainability studies can benefit from (1) a historical institutional approach to understanding interactions between urban growth strategies and social movements in cities, and (2) the development of an integrated framework for exploring the role of social capital in the institutionalization of sustainability.

520 $a Making cities less environmentally degrading is a preeminent challenge of sustainable development. Cities are intrinsically complex and characterized by multiple intersecting and interdependent systems designed to meet basic needs, support economic growth, and enhance opportunity and quality of life. To explore how two key sustainability initiatives emerged and became institutionalized in Florianopolis, Brazil, an integrated approach was developed that draws from the social-ecological systems framework as well as concepts of strategic action fields to understand the role of collective action in instigating shifts in the urban institutional environment. This case study suggests that sustainability studies can benefit from (1) a historical institutional approach to understanding interactions between urban growth strategies and social movements in cities, and (2) the development of an integrated framework for exploring the role of social capital in the institutionalization of sustainability.
520 $a Findings indicate the achievement of sustainable outcomes can be hastened by the appropriation of existing innovation-orientated or green-seeking fields of strategic actors. In Florianopolis, the process by which collective strategic action resulted in institutional change in the municipal government, as well as positive sustainability outcomes, was the result of several key historically contingent factors. The private sector and city leaders embraced tourism and a natural amenity-led growth model that consolidated in parallel to an increase in activism among environmental organizations and neighborhood associations that crystalized the strategy to rehabilitate and preserve the city's natural and cultural heritage. A subsequent initiative by the local government to leverage the amenity-rich city to promote Florianopolis as a technology hub boosted the island's human capital and fostered both technological and institutional innovation. The perpetual modernization of the island's amenities drives developers to adopt smart growth products, such as solar distributed generation, furthering the accumulation of sustainable practices in the urban system. Although each of these historical events contributed to the accretion of sustainable outcomes, this research also suggests the amenity-led growth model can result in negative outcomes and inequality over the long term as amenity migration results in an increase in housing costs. This dissertation advances the development of a theory of amenity-led sustainable development and a framework for exploring the role of institutions and social capital in transitions to sustainability.
