Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. population is more than 80 percent urban. Recognizing that many metropolitan areas in the United States have been experimenting with various approaches to sustainability, and that despite the differences among regions, there are likely some core similarities and transferable knowledge, Roundtable members selected the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia region as a case study. The Atlanta region provided a compelling example for exploring urban sustainability issues because of the region's rapid growth rate, well-documented challenges with water, land use, and transportation; and its level of engagement with federal government agencies on matters related to sustainability. Pathways to Urban Sustainability: Lessons from the Atlanta Metropolitan Region: Summary of a Workshop explores the Atlanta region's approach to urban sustainability, with an emphasis on building evidence based foundation upon which policies and programs might be developed. The two day workshop held on September 30 and October 1, 2010 examined how the interaction of various systems (natural and human systems; energy, water and transportations systems) affect the region's social, economic, and environmental conditions. The intent of this workshop summary is to analyze a metropolitan region so that researchers and practitioners can improve their understanding of the spatial and temporal aspects of urban sustainability.

Book excerpt: Like many cities, Atlanta, Georgia faces several significant socio-environmental challenges, including sprawl, environmental degradation, and a dearth of public transportation and park space. In an attempt to address some of these issues, city officials have begun to execute one of the nation's largest and most expensive urban greening projects: The Atlanta BeltLine. The project will create a 33-mile network of multi-use trails around the city of Atlanta, and will establish new green spaces, increase neighborhood connectivity, and address stormwater runoff, among other goals. While the BeltLine's social and environmental benefits have received ample praise, the project has also been critiqued for falling short on several targets and for causing new problems including gentrification and displacement. What, then, are we to make of urban greening projects that address some socio-ecological problems while generating others? To develop a more nuanced understanding of the socio-ecological gains and losses attributed to urban greening, how they are produced, and how they are experienced, this dissertation explores three facets of urban greening. First, this dissertation investigates the role of urban professionals tasked with urban greening, often called technocrats in academic literature, by developing an understanding of their subjectivities. That is, how their identities, experiences, and emotions influence their priorities for their work, and the ways that the planning process does or does not allow them to translate their priorities into project outcomes. Second, this dissertation explores the wants and needs of diverse residents living in BeltLine neighborhoods, and the benefits and new problems they experience since the project has been implemented. Resident needs and experiences are compared to promised outcomes, underscoring how the project is and is not addressing the needs of local residents. Finally, this dissertation observes project outcomes from two divergent frameworks, environmental management and urban political ecology. These frameworks value different outcomes and together highlight the tradeoffs inherent to urban greening, elucidating how outcomes produce gains for some actors and losses for others. The insight gained from this research is useful to create planning, engagement, and policy recommendations to guide the outcomes of urban planning in more intentional and equitable ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book provides a wealth of useful information for following through on today's renewed concern for sustainability and environmentalism. It's designed to help city managers, policy analysts, and government administrators think comprehensively and communicate effectively about environmental policy issues.The authors illustrate a system-based framework model of the city that provides a holistic view of environmental media (land, air, and water) while helping decision-makers to understand the extent to which environmental policy decisions are intertwined with the natural, built, and social systems of the city. They go on to introduce basic and environment-specific policy-analytic models, methods, and tools; presents numerous specific environmental policy puzzles that will confront cities; and introduces methods for understanding and educating public opinions around urban environmental policy.The book is grounded in the policy-analytic perspective rather than political science, economic, or planning frameworks. It includes both new scholarship and synthesis of existing policy analysis. Numerous tables, figures, checklists, and maps, as well as a comprehensive reference list are included.

Book excerpt: Explores the evolution of Atlantas water system and charts the poor urban planning decisions that created the citys current water shortage. Atlanta is running out of water and is in the midst of a water crisis. Its crumbling infrastructure spews toxic waste and raw sewage into neighboring streams. A tri-state water war between Alabama, Florida, and Georgia has been raging since 1990, with Atlanta caught in the middle; however, the citys problems have been more than a century in the making. In Thirsty City, Skye Borden tells the complete story of how Atlantas water ran dry. Using detailed historical research, legal analysis, and personal accounts, she explores the evolution of Atlantas water system as well as charts the poor urban planning decisions that led to the citys current woes. She also uncovers the loopholes in local, state, and federal environmental laws that have enabled urban planners to shirk responsibility for ongoing water quantity and quality problems. From the citys unfortunate location to its present-day debacle, Thirsty City is a fascinating and highly readable account that reveals how Atlantas quest for water is riddled with shortsighted decisions, unchecked greed, political corruption, and racial animus. Instead of a date-filled, statistically laden work of history and law, Borden weaves a compelling story full of interesting asides and biographical anecdotes. I found the history fascinating. It represents a real contribution to the literature. William L. Andreen, University of Alabama School of Law

Book excerpt: "A serious but often overlooked impact of the random, unplanned growth commonly known as sprawl is its effect on economic and racial polarization. Atlanta, Georgia, one of the fastest growing areas in the country, offers a striking example of sprawl-induced stratification." "Sprawl City uses a multidisciplinary approach to analyze and critique the emerging crisis resulting from urban sprawl in the ten-county Atlanta metropolitan region. Local experts including sociologists, lawyers, urban planners, economists, educators, and health care professionals consider sprawl-related concerns as core environmental justice and civil rights issues."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Ecology is a rapidly growing field of academic and practical significance. Urban ecologists have published several conference proceedings and regularly contribute to the ecological, architectural, planning, and geography literature. However, important papers in the field that set the foundation for the discipline and illustrate modern approaches from a variety of perspectives and regions of the world have not been collected in a single, accessible book. Foundations of Urban Ecology does this by reprinting important European and American publications, filling gaps in the published literature with a few, targeted original works, and translating key works originally published in German. This edited volume will provide students and professionals with a rich background in all facets of urban ecology. The editors emphasize the drivers, patterns, processes and effects of human settlement. The papers they synthesize provide readers with a broad understanding of the local and global aspects of settlement through traditional natural and social science lenses. This interdisciplinary vision gives the reader a comprehensive view of the urban ecosystem by introducing drivers, patterns, processes and effects of human settlements and the relationships between humans and other animals, plants, ecosystem processes, and abiotic conditions. The reader learns how human institutions, health, and preferences influence, and are influenced by, the others members of their shared urban ecosystem.

This book was released on 1998-05-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal role in the management of nonfederal U.S. forests was once relatively simple: to assist in the prevention and control of wildfires. The administrative structure to carry out this role was similarly uncomplicated, with most programs under the aegis of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In recent years, however, both the management and administrative landscapes have changed dramatically. Responsibility for the federal role in nonfederal forests has been expanded to include a number of cabinet departments and independent agencies, which must address critical issues such as reforestation, wetlands disruption, and biodiversity protection. With two-thirds of all U.S. forests on nonfederal lands, these issues are becoming increasingly more important. Now, a first-of-its-kind examination of the federal role in nonfederal forest management, Forested Landscapes in Perspective presents a comprehensive look at the current landscape and recommends improvements that best serve public and private interests. This timely volume includes an insightful description of the current situation and recent trends, followed by a thorough examination of major policy and program issues affecting nonfederal forests. Among these are emerging environmental concerns such as forest fragmentation and large-scale climate change, as well as issues of economic importance, such as the availability of timber supplies.
