Sustainable Communities and Green Lifestyles Consumption and Environmentalism

Sustainable communities raise questions about the compatibility of capitalism and environmentalism and how we can green our way of life in a capitalist economy that values short-term production and consumption over long-term conservation and simple living. If capitalism and its drive towards consumption has produced social and environmental degradation is it the best medium to identify solutions? Sustainable Communities and Green Lifestyles examines one ecovillage as it attempts to create a sense of community while reducing its impact on the natural environment. Through extensive participant observation the book demonstrates how ecovillages are immersed within a larger discourse of class race and lifestyle choices highlighting the inseparability of environmental sustainability and social justice. Sustainable communities are confronted by the contradictions of green consumption and must address social inequality or risk focusing inward on personal green consumerism creating mere green havens for the few who can afford to live in them. This book cautious of redirecting environmentalist efforts away from structural solutions and onto personal environmentalism offers a critical perspective on the challenges of an emerging green lifestyle. This book offers a critical perspective on the direction of US environmentalism and contributes to debates in environmental studies anthropology and urban planning. | Sustainable Communities and Green Lifestyles Consumption and Environmentalism

Just Green Enough Urban Development and Environmental Gentrification

While global urban development increasingly takes on the mantle of sustainability and green urbanism both the ecological and equity impacts of these developments are often overlooked. One result is what has been called environmental gentrification a process in which environmental improvements lead to increased property values and the displacement of long-term residents. The specter of environmental gentrification is now at the forefront of urban debates about how to accomplish environmental improvements without massive displacement. In this context the editors of this volume identified a strategy called just green enough based on field work in Greenpoint Brooklyn that uncouples environmental cleanup from high-end residential and commercial development. A just green enough strategy focuses explicitly on social justice and environmental goals as defined by local communities those people who have been most negatively affected by environmental disamenities with the goal of keeping them in place to enjoy any environmental improvements. It is not about short-changing communities but about challenging the veneer of green that accompanies many projects with questionable ecological and social justice impacts and looking for alternative sometimes surprising forms of greening such as creating green spaces and ecological regeneration within protected industrial zones. Just Green Enough is a theoretically rigorous practical global and accessible volume exploring through varied case studies the complexities of environmental improvement in an era of gentrification as global urban policy. It is ideal for use as a textbook at both undergraduate and graduate levels in urban planning urban studies urban geography and sustainability programs. | Just Green Enough Urban Development and Environmental Gentrification

Green Growth and Low Carbon Development in East Asia

The concept of green growth coupled with one of green economy and low carbon development is a global concern especially in the face of the multiple crises that the world has faced in recent years - climate oil food and financial crises. In East Asia this concept is regarded as the key in transforming cheap-labour dependent export-oriented industries towards a more sustainable development. Green Growth and Low Carbon Development in East Asia examines the beginnings of low carbon green growth in practice in East Asia and how effectively it has directed East Asian nations especially Korea China and Japan to put environment and climate challenges as the core target zone for investment and growth. Special focus is paid to energy and international trade - areas in which these nations compete with pioneered nations of Europe and the United States to develop renewable energy industries and enhance their international competitiveness. On the basis of the lessons learned in East Asia together with a comparison of Russia this book discusses the applicability and limitations of this developmental approach taken by the developing nations and resource-rich emerging economies including the conditions and contexts in which nations are able to transition into sustainable development through the use of low carbon green growth strategies.

Green Gentrification Urban sustainability and the struggle for environmental justice

Green Gentrification looks at the social consequences of urban greening from an environmental justice and sustainable development perspective. Through a comparative examination of five cases of urban greening in Brooklyn New York it demonstrates that such initiatives while positive for the environment tend to increase inequality and thus undermine the social pillar of sustainable development. Although greening is ostensibly intended to improve environmental conditions in neighborhoods it generates green gentrification that pushes out the working-class and people of color and attracts white wealthier in-migrants. Simply put urban greening richens and whitens remaking the city for the sustainability class. Without equity-oriented public policy intervention urban greening is negatively redistributive in global cities. This book argues that environmental injustice outcomes are not inevitable. Early public policy interventions aimed at neighborhood stabilization can create more just sustainability outcomes. It highlights the negative social consequences of green growth coalition efforts to green the global city and suggests policy choices to address them. The book applies the lessons learned from green gentrification in Brooklyn to urban greening initiatives globally. It offers comparison with other greening global cities. This is a timely and original book for all those studying environmental justice urban planning environmental sociology and sustainable development as well as urban environmental activists city planners and policy makers interested in issues of urban greening and gentrification. | Green Gentrification Urban sustainability and the struggle for environmental justice

Green Infrastructure Current Debates for Policy Practice and Implementation

Our understandings of the landscapes around us are constantly changing. How we interact with manage and value these spaces is important as it helps us to ensure we live in attractive functional and sustainable places. Green Infrastructure planning is the current ‘go-to’ approach in landscape planning that incorporates human-environmental interactions understandings of ecology and how socio-cultural factors influence our use of parks gardens and waterways. This book explores several interpretations of Green Infrastructure bringing together case studies of policy practice ecological change and community understandings of landscape. Focusing on how planning policy shapes our interactions with the landscape as individuals and communities the book discusses what works and what needs to be improved. It examines how environmental management can promote more sustainable approaches to landscape protection ensuring that water resources and ecological communities are not harmed by development. It also asks what the economic and community values of Green Infrastructure are to illustrate how different social ecological and political factors influence how our landscapes are managed. The central message of the book focusses on the promotion of multi-functional nature within urban landscapes that helps people the economy and the environment to meet the challenges of population infrastructure and economic change. The chapters in this book were origianally published as a special issue in Landscape Research. | Green Infrastructure Current Debates for Policy Practice and Implementation

Revising Green Infrastructure Concepts Between Nature and Design

Consider this … How do we handle the convergence of landscape architecture ecological planning and civil engineering? What are convenient terms and metaphors to communicate the interplay between design and ecology? What are suitable scientific theories and technological means? What innovations arise from multidisciplinary and cross-scalar approaches? What are appropriate aesthetic statements and spatial concepts? What instruments and tools should be applied? Revising Green Infrastructure: Concepts Between Nature and Design examines these questions and presents innovative approaches in designing green landscape or nature as infrastructure from different perspectives and attitudes instead of adding another definition or category of green infrastructure. The editors bring together the work of selected ecologists engineers and landscape architects who discuss a variety of theoretical aspects research projects teaching methods and best practice examples in green infrastructure. The approaches range from retrofitting existing infrastructures through landscape-based integrations of new infrastructures and envisioning prospective landscapes as hybrids machines or cultural extensions. The book explores a scientific functional approach in landscape architecture. It begins with an overview of green functionalism and includes examples of how new design logics are deducted from ecology in order to meet economic and environmental requirements and open new aesthetic relationships toward nature. The contributors share a decidedly cultural perspective on nature as landscape. Their ecological view emphasizes the individual nature of specific local situations. Building on this foundation the subsequent chapters present political ideas and programs defining social relations toward nature and their integration in different planning systems as well as their impact on nature and society. They explore different ways of participation and cooperation within cities regions and nations. They then describe projects implemented in local contexts to solve concrete problems or remediate malfunctions. These projects illustrate the full scope presented and discussed throughout the book: the use of scientific knowledge strategic thinking communication with municipal authorities and local stakeholders design implementation on site and documentation and control of feedback and outcome with adequate indicators and metrics. Although diverse and sometimes controversial the discussion of how nature is regarded in contrast to society how human-natural systems could be organized and how nature could be changed optimized or designed raises the question of whether there is a new paradigm for the design of social relations to nature. The multidisciplinary review in this book brings together discussions previously held only within the respective disciplines and demonstrates how they can be used to develop new methods and remediation strategies. | Revising Green Infrastructure Concepts Between Nature and Design
