If we look carefully enough we can discern facets of the
sustainable society all around us. The ecologically-sensitive
design of the buildings we work in, the green goods we routinely
consume in the high street, and the ways in which development in
our towns and regions is being planned all reflect a desire to live
in a more sustainable way. But the question remains, can we as a
global society really change the old unsustainable habits of the
industrial era and create a society which more effectively balances
economic need with social justice and environmental
protection?
"Spaces of Sustainability" provides the first integrated
geographical analysis of the sustainable society. Combining case
study material on urban health movements in Poland, agricultural
practices in India, environmental legislation in the USA and
ecological planning in the arctic amongst others, "Spaces" "of
Sustainability" considers the opportunities and barriers which
exist to sustainable developmentwithin different parts of the
world.
In addition to exploring sustainability in the spaces of the
developed, developing and post-socialist worlds, this book also
considers the role of geographical scale within this newly emerging
society and critically analyzes the ways in which contemporary
strategies for sustainable development are responding to the
complex global, national, regional and local processes which will
ultimately determine how sustainable our societies are.
