Cities are home to the most consequential current attempts at human adaptation
and they provide one possible focus for the flourishing of life on this planet. How¬
ever, for this to be realized in more than an ad hoc way, a substantial rethinking of
current approaches and practices needs to occur.
Urban Sustainability in Theory and Practice responds to the crises of sustainability
in the world today by going back to basics. It makes four major contributions to
thinking about and acting upon cities. It provides a means of reflexively learning
about urban sustainability in the process of working practically for positive social
development and projected change. It challenges the usually taken-for-granted
nature of sustainability practices while providing tools for modifying those prac¬
tices. It emphasizes the necessity of a holistic and integrated understanding of urban
life. Finally it rewrites existing dominant understandings of the social whole, such as
the Triple Bottom Line approach, that reduce environmental questions to externali¬
ties and social questions to background issues.The book is a much-needed practical
and conceptual guide for rethinking urban engagement.
Covering the full range of sustainability domains and bridging discourses
aimed at academics and practitioners, this is an essential read for all those study¬
ing, researching and working in urban geography, sustainability assessment, urban
planning, urban sociology and politics, sustainable development and environmental
studies.
