Sustainable London?

"This book is both topical and timely given the extensive debate about sustainability and the challenges caused by financial austerity and welfare reform." Dr Tony Manzi, University of Westminster
"A valuable resource for those interested in the study of sustainable development strategies and policies." Town Planning Review
"Sustainability is a term that has risen in prominence just as global cities like London are becoming ever less sustainable. This important new book calls for a renewed emphasis on social justice in urban policy making. The authors remind us of the things that really matter in life and the political battles that need to be won over wages, housing, transport and the environment." Professor Jane Wills, Queen Mary University of London
"It’s no longer a surprise that the words `sustainable development’ at best are marginal adjustments, or more likely, cynical greenwash. Sustainable London explores the results in ruthless detail – seen in the `post-political’, socially cleansed `mixed communities’, complete with their `poor doors’ and `anti-homeless spikes’. It is a waymarker which sets the agenda." Joe Ravetz, Co-Director, Centre for Urban Resilience and Energy, University of Manchester
“This is an innovative and accessible book that makes a significant and unique contribution to the discussion around sustainability, providing a high level of commentary and analysis from a range of strong contributors.” Dr John Flint, University of Sheffield
