Taking Sustainable Cities Seriously: Economic Development, the Environment, and Quality of Life in American Cities (American and Comparative Environmental Policy)

By Kent E. Portney

Book Overview

Today at least 25 major US cities have pursued some form of sustainability initiative. Although many case studies and how-to manuals have been published, there has been little systematic comparison of these cities' programs and initiatives. In this book Kent Portney lays the theoretical groundwork for research on what works and what does not, and why.
