A new edition with new and updated case studies and analysis that
demonstrate the trend in U.S. environmental policy toward
sustainability at local and regional levels. This analysis of U.S.
environmental policy offers a conceptual framework that serves as a
valuable roadmap to the array of laws, programs, and approaches
developed over the last four decades. Combining case studies and
theoretical discussion, the book views environmental policy in the
context of three epochs: the rise of command-and-control federal
regulation in the 1970s, the period of efficiency-based reform
efforts that followed, and the more recent trend toward sustainable
development and integrated approaches at local and regional levels.
It assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the new approaches and
places these experiments within the larger framework of an emerging
trend toward community sustainability. Toward Sustainable
Communities assesses environmental policy successes and failures at
the subnational, regional, and state levels and offers eight case
studies of policy arenas in which transformations have been
occurring-from air and water pollution control and state and local
climate change policy to open space preservation, urban growth, and
regional ecosystem management. It discusses the various meanings of
sustainability and whether the concept can serve as a foundation
for a new era of environmental policy. The second edition has been
substantially updated, with five new chapters (including the
chapter on climate change) and all other chapters revised and
shortened. It is suitable as a primary or secondary text for
environmental policy courses and as a resource for scholars and
policymakers. Contributors Elisa Barbour, Michele M. Betsill,
