Rezensionen

At the city level, the question of how to handle water resources, energy use, and transportation is not abstract but concrete. Citizens, planners, business people, and policy makers can easily see the problems and how a sustainable approach would be beneficial. Steven Cohen draws on his extensive teaching and public management experience in documenting the kinds of sustainability measures that have been successful in major cities around the world, and he points to what other cities realistically can do in the future. Michael E. Kraft, coeditor of The Oxford Handbook of U.S. Environmental Policy
