Common Worlds: Paths Toward Sustainable Urbanism explores expert
and lay approaches to sustainable urbanism, focusing on the
politics and civic aesthetics of space and place; project-based
learning and it consequences for the life chances of youth; and the
prospect of intergenerational civic engagement. Extended case
studies of sustainable urbanism describe areas undergoing
demographic and socioeconomic change over the two decades since the
end of the Cold War. The case studies, based upon participatory
action research, are framed through the lens of transformational
anthropology, which focuses on the structural factors and power
relationships that contribute to social and economic disparities
within a population. This approach is based upon principles of
personal and group transformation, and it holds researchers
responsible for collaborating with communities and groups in
co-constructing research, thereby enhancing the constituents'
ability to carry out subsequent transformational change studies
rooted in and shaped by the local community. Each case also focuses
on a movement in support of aesthetic improvement, including
preservation, conservation, and restoration efforts on behalf of
parkland, open space, agricultural land, and marine wetlands in the
face of external threats to their sustainability.
