Urban Sustainability and Justice presents an innovative yet
practical approach to incorporate equity and social justice into
sustainable development in urban areas, in line with the
commitments of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the New
Urban Agenda. This open access work proposes a feminist reading of
just sustainabilities' principles to reclaim sustainability as a
progressive discourse which informs action on the ground. This work
will help the committed activist (whether they are on the ground,
working in a community, in a non-governmental organization (NGO),
in a business, at a university, in any sphere in government) to
connect their work to international efforts to deliver
environmental justice in cities around the world. Drawing on a
comparative, international analysis of sustainability initiatives
in over 200 cities, Castan Broto and Westman find limited evidence
of the implementation of just sustainabilities principles in
practice, but they argue that there is considerable potential to
develop a justice-oriented sustainability agenda. Highlighting
current successes while also assessing prospects for the future,
the authors show that just sustainabilities is not merely an
aspirational discourse, but a frame of reference to support radical
action on the ground. The eBook editions of this book are available
open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on

of Sheffield.
