The Elgar Companion to Sustainable Cities provides a comprehensive
framework for understanding and applying the methods and strategies
for cities to attain a more sustainable future.Against a backdrop
of unprecedented levels of urbanization, 21st century cities across
the globe share mutual concerns for the challenges they face. This
Companion focuses on the importance of the city as a critical
building block for a more sustainable future within broader
subnational, national and continental contexts, and ultimately,
within a global systems context. It discusses the sustainable
strategies being devised, as well as the methods and tools for
achieving them. Examples of social, economic, political and
environmental sustainable policy strategies are presented and the
extent to which they actually increase sustainability is analyzed.
Topics explored include compact cities and urban metabolism;
environmental justice; water resources planning and the impact of
climate change on industry, food policy and urban design. This book
will appeal to academics and students of planning, public policy
and administration, as well as environmental and urban studies. It
will also be of interest to those working in urban planning and
sustainable development professions. Contributors: L. Baker, T.
