The imperative of the twenty-first century is sustainability: to
raise the living standards of the world's poor and to achieve and
maintain high levels of social health among the affluent nations
while simultaneously reducing and reversing the environmental
damage wrought by human activity. Scholars and practitioners are
making progress toward environmental and economic sustainability,
but we have very little understanding of the social dimension of
sustainability. This volume is an ambitious, multi-disciplinary
effort to identify the key elements of social sustainability
through an examination of what motivates its pursuit and the
conditions that promote or detract from its achievement. Included
are theoretical and empirical pieces; examination of international
and local efforts; discussions highlighting experiences in both the
developing and industrialized nations; and a substantial focus on
business practices. Contributors are grounded in sociology,
economics, business administration, public administration, public
health, geography, education and natural resource management.
