Abstract

A growing body of literature has analyzed urban energy transition. However,the existing analytical frameworks are limited in fully capturing energy transitionin cities. This study develops an integrated multilevel governance frameworkby adding indicators. Using this framework, this study analyzed Seoul’senergy transition and found that the energy transition has enhanced by embracingimportant values beyond the achievement of quantitative targets. From thevertical perspective, parts of national policies downloaded to shape the OLNPP. This study also discovered that the current energy system deteriorated the effectivenessof Seoul’s energy transition. From a modified horizontal perspective,institutional preparations for Seoul’s energy transition were initially inspiredby best practices in other cities. However, this situation has reversed. In addition,this study found that a variety of actors have participated in shaping andimplementing Seoul’s energy transition.
