This chapter investigates the scales of socioeconomic organization relevant for transitions to sustainability and how they may be changing. This investigation then frames an analysis of the current situation and prospects of the Galapagos Islands, particularly with respect to their urbanization vis-à-vis their extraordinary ecosystems. Can the development of urban centers in the Galapagos be a driver for positive change or is it necessarily detrimental?Reference Type
