urban car traffic. Financial legitimation comes up in the Indonesian land
conflict case by way of the provisory system of payment by villagers to the
Sundanese Peasant’s Movement, rather than paying rent illegally demanded
by the State Forest Corporation. It is also present in each sub-village’s
annual contributions to the Village Office, in essence embodying a land
tax to establish the villagers’ claim as landholders.

The Prefiguration Dimension
Here, discursive legitimation is apparent in the Norwegian zero growth
target-setting case, where the White Paper on Norwegian Climate Policy
2006 articulates the need for a shift to public and non-motorised transport, the White Paper on Norwegian Climate Policy 2012 formulates this
as a ‘goal’ or target, and the Zero Growth Objective states that all growth
in personal traffic in Norway’s largest cities must come through public or
non-motorised transport. Bureaucratic legitimation also takes on a prefigurative dimension in the same case, where Norway’s policies (such as
the Climate Accord of 2008) consistently reference a 2 °C target to limit
global warming and work this into a range of national documents and
strategies, including for urban transport. This imbrication of a broad goal
into concrete policies firms up the possibility of a stronger basis for ambitious energy transitions in urban mobility.
Technocratic legitimation is instantiated as prefigurative in the Colorado
habitat exchange case in the innovation of the Habitat Quantification
Tool, which can calculate compensation amounts for replacement of sagegrouse habitats. This paves the path for biodiversity conservation mechanisms in circumstances of greater political will. Financial legitimation is
evidently prefigurative in the Norwegian target-setting case, where the
Urban Environment Agreements under the Zero Growth Objective tie
the central funding allocated to cities for local transport infrastructure
with their prowess in meeting the target. This linkage moves future incentives for the sectoral evolution of urban mobility into closer alignment
with accountability to sustainable energy transition targets.

Within this dimension, discursive legitimation is evident in the Colorado
case, where the state habitat exchange was represented as relevant and
vibrant despite never recording any transactions, and was used to argue
