Sustainable Cities

In The Guide to Greening Cities, seasoned green city leaders Sadhi Johnston, Steven Nicholas, and Julia Parzen use success stories from across North America to show how to turn a green city agenda into reality. Recently published by Island Press, this book is the first written from the perspective of municipal leaders with successful on-the-ground experience working to advance sustainable city goals. Through personal reflections and interviews, the authors share lessons for cities to lead by example in their operations, create programs, implement high-priority initiatives, develop partnerships, measure progress, secure funding, and engage the community.
