Getting from Here to There? Power, Politics, and Urban Sustainability in North America
If the place where one lives is the site where sustainability should begin, the driving question of any serious sustainability project or program is: how do you get there from here? That is the ultimate question of my forthcoming co-authored book. Using detailed case studies of seven North American urban sustainability programs, my presentation will focus on the political agencies shaping them and the structural elements either impeding or facilitating these efforts. To accomplish this task, I will utilize three theories of urban power-growth coalition, urban regime, and neo-Gramscian models--to explore the dynamics of power and politics to better understand these cases and examine the requirements for building sustainable cities that can become practical utopias on terra firma.
