Public opinion polls consistently reveal the lack of confidence,
disillusionment, and mistrust that citizens feel toward government.
Daniels and his contributors believe that the relationship between
citizens and their governments can be changed by facilitating
greater citizen collaboration with government, particularly through
local sustainable programs. As the case studies show, often
sustainable community programs are created through grassroots
movements that are initiated and managed by citizens themselves,
bringing them in contact with their local elected and appointed
officials. Unlike traditional programs that are administered by
local officials on behalf of their citizens, once sustainable
community programs are created, citizens administer their own
programs in collaboration with local officials.
The case studies look at a variety of sustainable programs,
primarily in the United States, that help to deal with issues such
as recycling, transportation, microcredit, site redevelopment,
pollution, health care, and hunger. "Creating Sustainable Community
Programs" is the first book on sustainable programs that is
intended for an audience of public administration scholars,
researchers, and students as well as practitioners who are
searching for ways to change the relationship between citizens and
their governments.
