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 588 0 Print version record 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Urban ecology (Sociology)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh88004757 650 0 City planning|xEnvironmental aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008117683 650 7 Urban ecology (Sociology)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1733718 650 7 City planning|xEnvironmental aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/862209 650 7 urban environments.|2aat 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Krueger, Robert,|d1968-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2018067346|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tAdventures in sustainable urbanism. |dAlbany : State University of New York, [2019] |z9781438476490|w(DLC) 2018054676|w(OCoLC)1080247874 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2287343|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
