The Future of Sustainable Cities

What effects have the economic downturn and credit crunch had on efforts to develop more sustainable cities? This groundbreaking book investigates how urban sustainability is being radically rethought--conceptually and politically--in our new economic climate. Prominent scholars analyze changes in key areas of urban planning, including housing, transportation, and the environment, and map out core areas for future research. An important survey of a rapidly changing field, The Future of Sustainable Cities will be essential for students of urban studies, geography, and sociology.
