Synopsis

"Sustainable Cities" simultaneously tackles two issues of immediate public concern which also find themselves high on the policy agenda: sustainable environmental development and urban development. The themes of the book - the bringing together of the insights of environmental science, the social sciences and management; the combination of problem analysis with practical application; and a critique of urban environmental problems concentrating on air and water pollution - are illustrated throughout with in-depth material and case studies taken from around the world and are approached from a variety of perspectives: economic, ecological and managerial. Each chapter has a concluding section pointing to key concepts, key reading and a range of discussion points. The authors are a geographer/economist and an environmental scientist, with direct experience of policy-making in local, national and international organizations. An emphasis on the policy dimension is fundamental to their approach as they develop a series of key policy principles for improving the urban environment.
