Over the past two decades, sustainability has become a principal
concern for city administrators. It is more than just an
environmental issue entailing economic, demographic, governance,
social, and amenity aspects. After a short introduction to some
theory, this book provides broad coverage of these aspects and
their manifestations in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. The
contributors discuss, in detail, topics surrounding measurement,
growth strategy, citizen participation, revitalization, and
competitiveness. Though each of the cities discussed - ranging from
Shanghai, to Barcelona, to Montreal - are distinct, there are
similarities that connect them all. The book highlights their
common elements to provide a feasible outcome for sustainable urban
development. City administrators, academics and other researchers
and consultants will find both the theory and principles discussed
in this book of great interest. The individual contributions will
be useful for students at all levels pursuing urban economics,
environmental studies, planning and public policy. Contributors: L.
