"Social Sustainability in Urban Areas:.." ed. by Tony Manzi, Karen Lucas, Tony Lloyd-Jones and Judith Allen (Repost)

This volume on social sustainability offers both critique and creative solutions. It challenges the conventional wisdoms of social sustainability and presents practical examples of projects that will help practitioners to think carefully and innovatively about the situations they are addressing. The book presents a new, more coherent and more complete approach to issues of social sustainability in urban areas.

The book consists of original contributions from academics working in the fields of urban planning, housing, regeneration, transport and international sustainable development. Drawing on case study research gathered in the UK, Europe and Africa, it adopts an original, interdisciplinary approach to both theory and practice, illustrating the challenges and opportunities facing policy-makers and practitioners attempting to develop, manage and maintain sustainable communities.
