In an urbanizing world, the majority of people live in urban
settlements predominantly on the coastal edge. Focus has
historically been on people, place and the challenges and
opportunities of living with global change, and academic attention
has largely been on sustainability science or sustainable
solutions. This book seeks to strengthen the relatively weak link
between sustainability science, land use planning and
socio-economic change, and show that a more integrated approach to
planning will be required to develop more sustainable pathways for
cities and regions in the future. Sustainable Pathways for our
Cities and Regions builds on the recent publications on cities and
climate change, resilient cities and coasts, and sustainable
cities, and looks at the ways in which current planning approaches
need to be adapted to embrace concepts including green growth,
planetary boundaries, healthy cities and longer-term
sustainability. Drawing on case studies from four cities selected
for their publicly stated commitment to sustainability - Canberra,
Kuala Lumpur, Copenhagen and New York - the author proposes seven
sustainable pathways and draws conclusions on the positive
contribution planning can make in preparing urban and regional
communities for significant change in the twenty-first century
city. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars
of urban planning, sustainable cities, climate change, green growth
and community engagement. It will also be of great value to leaders
and community activists seeking more sustainable pathways for their
cities and regions.
