  • Understanding the Place-Specific Formation Processes of Sustainable Urban Experiments a Mixed Method Comparative Case Study of Formula E
    Master’s thesis - master Innovation Sciences Understanding the place-specific formation processes of sustainable urban experiments A mixed method comparative case study of Formula E July 27, 2021 Author: Marius Roeterdink, BSc Student number: 5673127 Contact: [email protected] Supervisor: Dr. J. Hoekman Second reader: Dr. ir. J.C.L Torrens Master’s Thesis – Master Innovation Sciences GEO4-2239X Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University 0 Place-specific formation processes of sustainable urban experiments Abstract Cities are increasingly recognized as frontrunners in the transition to a more sustainable society due to their assembly of technology, resources, population, culture, and economics. This is, amongst others, visible from a global increase in urban actors collaborating to experiment with new sustainable configurations. These so-called sustainable urban experiments, embedded in a broader niche, are not confined to a specific spatial context but will rather emerge in complex ‘place bundles’, forming a global niche. However, the formation of a global niche is interrelated with local experimentation and is thereby locally rooted. A prime example is sustainable motorsports experiment Formula E. Formula E operates on a global scale with numerous multinational companies involved but is set in urban environments and the local regional context arguably influences the formation of such events. In other words, Formula E is a global sustainable urban experiment which is locally embedded. Considerable variation in the way a sustainable urban experiment is formed locally is likely to exist. The objective of this study was to complement strategic niche management and sustainable transitions literature by understanding the specific place-specific factors under which global sustainable urban experiments are formed.

    2017 INTRODUCTION Felix Rosenqvist is a Swedish racing driver, competing in the 2016-17 FIA Formula E Championship with Mahindra Racing. He is the 2015 FIA Formula 3 European champion. Felix Rosenqvist is the only driver in the history of Formula 3 to have won each of the accolades that make up the category’s “grand slam”: the European Championship (2015), the Grand Prix de Pau (2014), the Masters of Formula 3 (twice in 2011 and 2013) and the blue- riband Macau Grand Prix (twice in 2014 and 2015). In 2016, Rosenqvist dovetailed race-winning campaigns in the American Indy Lights series and Europe’s Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup, while simultaneously racing in the top-level DTM touring car series with Mercedes-AMG. He also conducted a successful test in the Verizon IndyCar Series, America’s leading single-seater championship. Towards the end of 2016, Rosenqvist entered the Formula E arena after signing for Mahindra Racing, with the first round of the 2016-17 season taking place in Hong Kong on October 9. On his series debut, he set the fastest lap of the race, before going on to claim a headline- grabbing maiden pole position and podium in only his second start in the championship in Marrakesh, Morocco. 2017 sees Felix Rosenqvist intensify his pursuit of a maiden Formula E victory. He remains part of the Mercedes-AMG family.
