It presents original knowledge, perspectives and examples on the sustainability of cities, grounding its analysis in the dialectic between their economic, social, political and environmental realities. Wide-ranging contributions from worldrenowned experts are brought together in a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary review of the major issues, including legal mechanisms, health, economics and the environment, and the application of Local Agenda 21 in cities. Tracing the evolution of theory in relation to urban growth and development, it provides guidance for moving towards sustainable urban environments and descriptions of the efforts made by several cities in this respect. Practitioners and academics alike will find this book of unique relevance in its rigorous examination of the unfinished agenda relating to urban environmental degradation and in its elaboration of principles of best practice. This book presents original knowledge, perspectives and examples on the sustainability of cities and their economic, social, political and environmental realities.
