for each chapter of Greening Cities Greening Cities: Building Just and Sustainable Communities, by Joan Roelofs, is now available. It is being published by The Bootstrap Press, which bills it as:
"A treasure trove of practical ideas that embody Green values of social and environmental justice and are actually working on the ground in small, medium, and large cities, as well as some rural communities, all around the world. It shows how these values can and are being incorporated in local government policy and how they shape voluntary efforts by community groups.
Topics covered in separate chapters range from urban design, democracy and culture to energy, water, transportation, food, waste, health, economy, and recreation.
Originally conceived as a workbook for students in urban and environment studies, public administration, geography, and planning, Greening Cities is also must reading for community leaders, activists, and indeed anyone concerned about and committed to building a more just and sustainable society."
A sample of advance praise: "Joan Roelofs. . .has brought together for
us many of the most inspiring projects that are creating more sustainable
communities in all corners of the globe. Greening Cities is a very
welcome source of information and an inspiration for this process..."
