The talk illustrates the ongoing progresses of my project "INFRATIME" on time, smart urbanism and urban transitions. As part of my research, I will focus on EU sustainable transition approaches from a time-based perspective, discussing my research questions, early findings and the qualitative methods adopted. I argue that the processes of ecological transition undertaken to address climate change challenges could be understood as climate-digital-urban timescape that involves data infrastructures, urban governance and management, and technoscientific practices. While the fundamental contributions of the IPCC reports on climate awareness and the COP Meetings produced a ‘rediscovery of the future’ by multiple and non linear future-making practices, my contribution focuses on 'rediscovering the present' as a temporal nexus where alternative past-present-future relations for climate adaptation and mitigation are shaped.
