This book addresses sustainability thinking and the bigger picture,
by taking into consideration how and from where contemporary
schools of thought emerged approximately a quarter-century ago.
Evidence from the literature illustrates a number of key concepts
and techniques that have been tested and continue to be tested,
within various multi-disciplinary fields, on societal
functionality. Research into sustainable societies needs to be
sound, ethical, and creative. A cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary
examination of challenges and strategies is used to interlink
sustainability thinking and human-nature relations. With an
ever-growing number of people now concentrated within urban areas,
providing not only environmental quality and livable space, but
also security and resilient urban systems, is becoming increasingly
important. This urbanization trend has overlapped with
environmental degradation, consumption of natural resources,
habitat loss, and overall ecosystem change. Consequently, the goal
is for cleaner, safer societies - with higher standards of living -
to excel in support of current and future generational communities.
The book tackles these challenges by integrating environmental
scholarship, economic evaluation, and urban strategies under one
umbrella of thought. The relational paradigms presented include
examples that correlate developed and developing countries,
socioeconomics and community development, and governance of
knowledge and education. As such, the book argues, furthering of
knowhow should be accessible and shared in order to achieve maximum
innovation and benefit. Sustainability thinking, after all, is a
metric for intrinsic human-nature relations in terms of past
performance, present development, and future goals. This book
discusses this metric and offers novel approaches to growing
societies and what we can do next.
