In her study of the interactions between tools of urban
sustainability governance in key cities, Lisa Pettibone argues that
a new factor-sustainability-minded groups-may be critical to
building momentum for sustainability. The book presents in-depth
case studies of six cities in the USA and Germany: New York,
Portland, Seattle, Berlin, Hamburg, and Heidelburg. Drawing on 75
interviews, document analysis, and a bilingual literature review,
the book analyzes how sustainability is politically constructed in
city strategic plans and sustainability indicators. The volume
provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of
sustainability, discusses the key governance instruments relevant
to urban sustainability, and delivers new empirical and theoretical
material on their role in a sustainability transition. It concludes
that despite the national-level differences, cities' experiences in
both countries are similar. Political sustainability at the city
level differs in several important ways from academic principles of
sustainability. Finally, it proposes that sustainability-minded
groups may be a key link to connect urban sustainability in
practice to theoretical concepts.
