Zusammenfassung:This Book issummarized in the paper on Durban's Local Agenda 21 in this issue. In 1994, Durban became the first city in South Africa to accept the Local Agenda 21 mandate as a corporate responsibility. Since then, Durban has been at the forefront of the Local Agenda 21 experience in South Africa. This book is a frank and open documentation of the lessons learned over the last seven years. The overriding message to emerge is that Local Agenda 21 ‘s implicit promise of a more sustainable future for all often obscures the difficulties encountered in reaching this goal.This book initially explains the context in which this Local Agenda 21 has taken place, that is, global (the Earth Summit and Agenda 21), national (post-apartheid democratization) and local (the establishment of an Environmental Management Branch within the city council). It continues chronologically through the various stages of the process, starting with the assessment and prioritization stage (1994-1996). This phase identified a lack of knowledge regarding the city ‘s environmental status and, realizing that this would inhibit the goal of integrating social, economic and ecological concerns into all development and planning processes within the city, prepared Durban ‘s first State of the Environment and Development Report which was completed in 1996.
