In response to this state of affairs, Adventures in Sustainable Urbanism aims to prompt new debates about the consequences of sustainable urbanism as it moves from planning to practice. Contributors explore policy, practice, and experience from cities around the world, including Calgary, Christchurch, Dortmund, Vancouver, and others. Written by scholars who live in these cities, chapters offer empirically rich descriptions for opening up new lines of thinking, theorizing, and debate about the sustainable city and its actual material expressions in place. By examining the sustainable city through various analytical framings, contributors urge readers to move from viewing the sustainable city as something everyone can agree on, to a highly politicized and contested process. Additional resources are provided for readers who may wish to extend their own research into a city or theme. 606 $aUrban ecology (Sociology) 606 $aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aUrban ecology (Sociology) 615 0$aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a307.1/216 702 $aKrueger$b Robert$f1968- 702 $aFreytag$b Tim 702 $aMo?ssner$b Samuel 712 02$aProQuest (Firm), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910682574303321 996 $aAdventures in sustainable urbanism$93083528 997 $aUNINA
