Kong -- The Implications of Stakeholder Group Involvement in Urban Sustainable Development / Alexandra Flynn -- Complementing Citizen Engagement with Innovative Forms of Professional Coproduction: A Renewed Case for Transdisciplinary Charrettes / Nik Luka, Bria Aird, and Nina-Marie Lister. 520 $a "The inaction of nation-states and international bodies has posed significant risks to the environment. By contrast, cities are sites of action and innovation. In Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance, contributors researching in the areas of law, urban planning, geography, and philosophy identify approaches for tackling many of the most challenging environmental problems facing cities today. Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance facilitates two strands of dialogue about climate change. First, it integrates legal perspectives into policy debates about urban sustainability and governance, from which law has typically stood apart. Second, it brings case studies from Quebec into a rare conversation with examples drawn from elsewhere in Canada. The collection proposes humane and inclusive processes for arriving at effective policy outcomes. Some chapters examine governance mechanisms that reconcile clashes of incommensurable values and resolve conflicts about collective interests. Other chapters provide platforms for social movements that have faced obstacles to communicating to a broad public. The collection's proposals respond to drastic changes in urban environments. Some changes are imminent. Others are upon us already. All threaten the present and future well-being of urban communities."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Sustainable urban development $z Canada $x Citizen participation $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Urbanization $x Environmental aspects $z Canada $v Case studies. 650 0 $a City planning $z Canada $v Case studies. 650 6 $a Urbanisme durable $z Canada $x Participation des citoyens $v Etudes de cas. 650 6 $a Urbanisation $x Aspect de l'environnement $z Canada $v Etudes de cas. 650 7 $a City planning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862177 650 7 $a Urbanization $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162728 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Etudes de cas. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Kong, Hoi L., $e editor. 700 1 $a Monforte, Tanya, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Sustainability, citizen participation, and city governance multidisciplinary perspectives. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2022 $z 9781487542993 $z 9781487542993 $w (OCoLC)1316835093 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230418012743.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A35A426DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
