TY - UNPB N2 - This research aims to find the best way regarding the implementation of a district heating system. With climate change causing all kinds of problems, we need certain alternatives regarding our current heating system. District heating is one of these alternatives. The strength and weaknesses from the district heating project within Katendrecht and Paddepoel-Noord are analysed using qualitative research methods. Strengths from the Katendrecht project, which is already implemented, could be transferred to the Paddepoel-Noord project, which is still in construction phase. Regarding the transition management theory both project are pioneers. The projects create theory from practice, creating pathways towards new policies. These results show not all strengths were applicable to other projects because they were highly case specific. The strengths that could be implemented within the Paddepoel-Noord, transferred from the Katendrecht project, are open communication concerning shared risk and profit margins. In addition, the use of a strong transition manager could be beneficial concerning the project. These two lessons could be implemented In the Paddepoel-Noord district heating project. Which should lead to a diverse transition arena which leads to up-scaling of innovation and breakthrough of innovations. ID - theses_frw3207 EP - 22 Y1 - 2020/// A1 - Lijster, j.j.
