Despite the collective promise of integrating more open (broader-based, participatory) city-level governance into global energy regime, little attention has been paid to different impact logics and assumptions underpinning local procedural tools (PGTs) in circulation degree which they address key good dimensions dominantly thought be indicative transformation. This review aims fill this gap by mapping analyzing transition PGTs circulating across four climate action initiatives that mobilize provide support cities governments. A framework—REPAIR: Reflexivity, Enabling/Embedding, Participatory, Integrative, Adaptive, Radicality—is proposed based on a synthesis common innovation design features, representative sample 25 are evaluated against these dimensions. The analysis reveals need for (1) differentiation tailored capacity relating monitoring, evaluating, learning systems; (2) prioritization factors interventions relation actions; (3) nuanced theories change operationalizing power/coalition/mandate building (across governance). article concludes there real gaps how advantages, opportunities, traveling “ideal types” will fulfilled outlines future research directions informing aligned low-carbon transitions urban areas.
