Abstract
The chapter presents conclusive remarks organised into three sections. Section 5.1 regards the inception of institutional changes, showing that most factors triggering change can be conceptualised as exogenous shocks out of the control of actors in the policy arena. Supporters of institutional change should exploit windows of opportunity opened by such exogenous factors and act as entrepreneurs to trigger change processes. Section 5.2 draws conclusions from the investigation of the processes of institutional change in the two case studies. The section confirms the importance of distributive conflicts on institutional change and reports on several variables affecting the results of change. Finally, Sect. 5.3 explores how the two polar models of transport authorities implemented in Barcelona and London may each provide an enlargement of policy capacity.
