dc.description.abstractCities are getting more vulnerable for events of climate change such as heat waves and more intensified and extreme precipitation. One of the challenges in effective climate adaptation concerns the engagement of others such as local governments, government agencies, independent governing boards but also private actors and NGOs could be stimulated to get involved. The demand for more involvement of various actors correlates with a general trend that society itself is changing over the past decades. Citizens and businesses are taken more matters into their own hands by improving their own surroundings by creating their own initiatives. Visions can be considered as one of the key elements in realizing sustainable solutions. Envisioning how a desirable future might look, and utopian thoughts, provide direction for actions and behaviour. This study identifies how visions influence the different dimensions of the governance arrangement of bottom-up initiatives in the city of Arnhem, which contribute to climate adaptation. Recommendations for further research and practice are included.en_US
