Capital Cities and Urban Sustainability examines how capital cities
use their unique hub resources to develop and disseminate
innovative policy solutions to promote sustainability. Cities are
taking a leading role in defining a sustainable future at a time
when national, state, and regional governments in several countries
do not provide sufficient leadership. Capital cities stand out
among cities as likely leading drivers in the effort to empower
sustainable innovation as they provide a hub for connecting a
variety of key constituencies. While acknowledging the successes
capital cities have achieved, the international, multi-disciplinary
contributors to this work discuss how there is room to do more and
improve. The promotion of specific sustainability policies in
crucial areas such as clean water provision, high tech innovation,
public procurement contracting, and improving flood control in
capital cities is examined through various global case studies. The
examples range from relatively rich capital cities, such as
Copenhagen, where the well-financed hub would be expected to
succeed in generating sustainable policies, to poorer cities such
as Phnom Penh, where such an optimistic outcome can seem less
likely.
