Implementing City Sustainability examines the structures and
processes that city governments employ to pursue environmental,
social, and economic well-being within their communities. As
American cities adopt sustainability objectives, they
are faced with the need to overcome fuzzy-boundary, coordination,
and collective action challenges to achieve successful
implementation. Sustainability goals often do not fit neatly into
traditional city government structures, which tend to be organized
around specific functional responsibilities, such as planning,
public works, parks and recreation, and community development. The
authors advance a theory of Functional Collective Action and apply
it to local sustainability to explain how cities can—and in some
cases do—organize to successfully administer changes to achieve
complex objectives that transcend these organizational separations.
Implementing City Sustainability uses a mixed-method research
design and original data to provide a national overview of
cities’ sustainability arrangements, as well as eight city case
studies highlighting different means of organizing to achieve
functional collective action. By focusing not just on what cities
are doing to further sustainability, but also on how they are doing
it, the authors show how administrative structure enables—or
inhibits—cities to overcome functional divides and achieve
successful outcomes.
