Sustainability in America's Cities highlights how America's largest cities are acting to develop sustainable solutions to conflicts between development and environment.
Specifically designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in sustainability, it is the first book to provide empirically based, multi-disciplinary case studies of sustainability policy, planning, and practice in action. It will also be valuable for everyone who designs and implements sustainability initiatives, including policy makers, public sector and non-profit practitioners, and consultants.
Case studies examine innovative sustainability initiatives in a wide range of American cities, including San Francisco, Honolulu, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Milwaukee, New York City, Portland, Oregon and Washington, D.C. The concluding chapter ties together the empirical evidence and recounts lessons learned for sustainability planning and policy.
Matthew Slavin is Founder and Principal of Sustaingroup, developing clean energy technologies and sustainable building and aligning business and government leadership, goals and strategy to create a more sustainable future. His publications on energy, climate change, and sustainability have been featured in leading professional journals and metropolitan newspapers.
