- W2140580894 abstract "The Conscious City 11 explores how broad, long-term change toward sustainability in cities can be fostered, nurtured and facilitated. Using a qualitative, mixed-method approach, this research adapts a model from Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point framework to explore how social consciousness can be mobilized to achieve change toward sustainability through an analysis of traffic congestion in Greater Vancouver. The results demonstrate the important influence of leadership, context and message on the development of a social consciousness of sustainability. The research also demonstrates the explanatory power of Gladwell's framework and suggests that urban and suburban areas in the Greater Vancouver region are not exposed to the same types of messages, draw on different physical and social contexts, and are subjected to varying levels of effective leadership. The result is two separate, and incompatible mental models of sustainability in the region, both influenced by traffic congestion. To my grandparents who taught me the value of academic accomplishment, to my parents who taught me the value of community and to my fellow Urban Studies colleagues who affirmed my belief in the value of collaboration. I wish to acknowledge my research partner, Graham Senft, for his sense of humour and unwavering dedication to completing this project in the face of many obstacles along the way. I wish to thank my Senior Supervisor, Dr. Meg Holden for her willingness to support this project as a collaborative effort. My gratitude is also extended to the committee members for dedicating their time and contributions to the project. I also wish to acknowledge the range of dedicated professionals working to inspire change toward sustainability in the Vancouver region, whose valuable insight provided the basis for this work." @default.
