century....This book is a superb collection of classic essays and
contemporary work. Highly recommended!."
-David W. Orr, Oberlin College

connecting sustainability and city and regional planning have been
waiting for. The authors' presentation of important theoretical
ideas and current applications artfully unites two fields that have
much to learn from each other."
-Katherine Cushing, San Jose State University
"A discerning selection of key ideas and strong editorial support
on key urban sustainability themes, combined with case-study and
inspirational student exercise sections will ensure this book will
form a key text in my program."
