Planning for transformative adaptation is more likely where communities can learn collectively  . Greater citizen engagement facilitates implementing specific measures for radical policymaking or the mainstreaming of environmental knowledge into adaptation practices . Do it yourself  planning, in which stakeholders focus on creating and improving specific urban spaces they inhabit, has led to urban greening experiments led by civil society that change paradigms of urban and environmental management . Social learning may occur through combinations of activism and collaboration with and between informal settlement dwellers, as shown in adaptation experiences in informal settlements in Hanoi and Bangkok  .. The adaptation process can benefit from the inclusion of multiple sources of knowledge for social learning, including universities but also communities and citizens . Citizens assemblies are increasingly recognised as spaces for transformative adaptation , although their potential influence at different government levels is still not fully understood.
