Baltimore, like many other cities around the globe, is redesigning local government policy and programs in order to become a more sustainable city. Sustainability, as a concept guiding public action, encourages city officials to integrate policy and programs addressing the economic, environmental, and social health of the community. City governments, including Baltimore, have adopted plans to integrate this new priority into local policy and program management. Reorienting city policy and programs to address an emergent concern like sustainability requires collaboration between city government and various actors and organizations in the community.
Collaborative Strategies for Sustainable Cities examines how cities define sustainability and form policy implementation networks to integrate sustainability into city programs. Using the city of Baltimore to describe and analyze the involvement of the participants in local sustainability efforts in rich detail, Eric S. Zeemering argues that when we think about the sustainable city, the city government is not the best unit of analysis for our investigations or policy planning. Instead, policy networks within cities carve out slices of a sustainability agenda, define sustainability in their own ways, and form implementation networks with city government officials, neighborhood and community organizations, funders, and state and federal agencies in order to achieve specific goals. When cities begin to integrate sustainability into policies and programs, surveying and understanding competing definitions of sustainability within the community may be central to their success.
The book's rich array of data, including qualitative data from elite interviews and public documents, Q-methodology and social network analysis will make for an engaging read to scholars of political science or public affairs as well as the interested citizen or policy advocate.

Books like this which bubble over with the fruits of many people experience and insight add new layers of meaning to (the concept if sustainable development) deepening our understanding of what for me is the most important political challenge of our age-by a very Long way... this timely and important book will be a real inspiration. ' from the foreword by JONATHON PORRITT Community and Sustainable Development is about the future - a future in which people have the resources to meet their needs. This basic message of sustainable development recognises the need to conserve environmental resources, but also to support and build the human resources through which the future will be realised, by ensuring that local people are able to participate in the decisions and activities which affect their living environment. Featuring contributions from many leading figures in the fields of community participation and sustainable development, this book shows how participation can extend democracy, citizenship and accountability. It also considers the role of science and expert knowledge in setting and achieving appropriate goals for development, and describes how participatory initiatives can inspire sustainable action on poverty and social inclusion.

Описание: Development of land resources in a sustainable manner requires the integration of economic, environmental and social policies and their implementation in a mutual reinforcing manner. The concept of "sustainable development" was mainly disseminated as a long-term oriented policy by the World Commission on Environment and Development under the "Our common future" report sub¬mitted in the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1987. Sustainable development of land resources can be defined as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations of meeting their own needs (Brundtland Commission)". The developmental mea¬sures appropriated in a sustainable way are associated with the human activities that ensure the harmony of social, economic and ecological balance.The high growth rate of human population in many of the developing nations is putting growing pressure on the finite land resources. This is a major cause of land degradation. Desertification, droughts and depletion of natural resources affect more than 2 billion people across the globe, where it is estimated that this situation might worsen due to the unsustainable practices of soil and wa¬ter under the present scenario of climatic changes. The potential risks arising from the violation of sustainable principles are sometimes hard to conceive in the present situation. Nonetheless, the concussion of harmful and unsustainable activities of humans might hurt the habitants even more badly and can influence the survival of future generations. This book covers a wide range of sustainable developmental measures which work towards a common goal of achieving sus¬tainable pattern of development by envisaging different uses of land resources, the planning of land-use patterns, the formation of policies towards the equi¬table distribution of land and addressing the challenges while supporting the development of land resources.The topics of this book are diverse where introductory chapters provide an in¬sight of land-related definitions, the future trends related to land resources and give an overview of cause-problem-symptom relationship. They provide a brief description of the services of ecosystem and extent of the land practices along with the planning of watershed management. Further, a lot of attention has been paid to the challenges in sustainable management of land resources that throw light on the key issues of water management and climatic adaptations that can be resolved through the implementation of an integrated approach. Lead¬ing chapters of the book provide a glimpse on the promotion of sustainable management along with the planning of resource utilization by devising long term planning of environmental goods and services in a cost-effective manner. The objective is to promote international cooperation and develop a framework which entails the response against the climatic conditions through the applica¬tion of multi-dimensional and focused goals.In accordance with the above outline, the book gives a detailed description of innovations in the administration of land management by detailing the needs for continuous change and formation of innovation platforms that facilitate the conduct of land management. Aligning with the same structure, the tools and approaches for the assessment of sustainable development illustrate the steps involved under this approach while screening the evaluation and conduct of management process. The concluding chapters of this book scrutinize the cli¬matic changes and their major challenges while going through the phase of development of resources followed by the mitigation and adaptation of strate¬gic policies to overcome these dramatic situations. Lastly, it delivers the major objectives and scope of sustainable land management by describing the major objectives of holistic approach in framing the policy, conducting research and development, sharing knowledge and providi

Описание: This book is intended to help explore the field of smart sustainable cities in its complexity, heterogeneity, and breadth, the many faces of a topical subject of major importance for the future that encompasses so much of modern urban life in an increasingly computerized and urbanized world. Indeed, sustainable urban development is currently at the center of debate in light of several ICT visions becoming achievable and deployable computing paradigms, and shaping the way cities will evolve in the future and thus tackle complex challenges.This book integrates computer science, data science, complexity science, sustainability science, system thinking, and urban planning and design. As such, it contains innovative computer–based and data–analytic research on smart sustainable cities as complex and dynamic systems. It provides applied theoretical contributions fostering a better understanding of such systems and the synergistic relationships between the underlying physical and informational landscapes. It offers contributions pertaining to the ongoing development of computer–based and data science technologies for the processing, analysis, management, modeling, and simulation of big and context data and the associated applicability to urban systems that will advance different aspects of sustainability.This book seeks to explicitly bring together the smart city and sustainable city endeavors, and to focus on big data analytics and context-aware computing specifically. In doing so, it amalgamates the design concepts and planning principles of sustainable urban forms with the novel applications of ICT of ubiquitous computing to primarily advance sustainability. Its strength lies in combining big data and context–aware technologies and their novel applications for the sheer purpose of harnessing and leveraging the disruptive and synergetic effects of ICT on forms of city planning that are required for future forms of sustainable development. This is because the effects of such technologies reinforce one another as to their efforts for transforming urban life in a sustainable way by integrating data–centric and context–aware solutions for enhancing urban systems and facilitating coordination among urban domains.This timely and comprehensive book is aimed at a wide audience across science, academia industry, and policymaking. It provides the necessary material to inform relevant research communities of the state–of–the–art research and the latest development in the area of smart sustainable urban development, as well as a valuable reference for planners, designers, strategists, and ICT experts who are working towards the development and implementation of smart sustainable cities based on big data analytics and context–aware computing.
