Abstract
In this editorial introduction, we introduce the special issue ?Transforming Urban Sustainability?, which seeks to understand the pursuit and practice of transformative change for urban sustainability. Uniquely, the contributions to the Special Issue were developed through trans-disciplinary collaborations and in this editorial we reflect on these practices and consider how they can catalyze transformative change in and through academic practice. We also review existing conceptual approaches to transformation and develop a heuristic device that helps us to appreciate its multiple and diverse dimensions. Through this heuristic, we generate lines of sight through which to view transformation and position the contributions in the Special Issue in relation to these. We conclude by suggesting that to advance both the understanding and traction of transformative action we need to recognise its multiplicity and actively engage with its different facets.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
