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.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Delve into what it
was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the
first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and
farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists
and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original
texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly
contemporary.++++The below data was compiled from various
