As global warming advances, regions around the world are
engaging in revolutionary sustainability planning - but with social
equity as an afterthought. California is at the cutting edge of
this movement, not only because its regulations actively reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, but also because its pioneering
environmental regulation, market innovation, and Left Coast
politics show how to blend the "three Es" of
sustainability--environment, economy, and equity. "Planning
Sustainable Cities and Regions" is the first book to explain what
this grand experiment tells us about the most just path moving
forward for cities and regions across the globe.
The book offers chapters about neighbourhoods, the economy, and
poverty, using stories from practice to help solve puzzles posed by
academic research. Based on the most recent demographic and
economic trends, it overturns conventional ideas about how to build
more livable places and vibrant economies that offer opportunity to
all. This thought-provoking book provides a framework to deal with
the new inequities created by the movement for more livable - and
expensive - cities, so that our best plans for sustainability are
promoting more equitable development as well.
This book will appeal to students of urban studies, urban
planning and sustainability as well as policymakers, planning
practitioners, and sustainability advocates around the world.
