About this product
Product Information
Sustainable development initiatives are analyzed as local urban community responses to globalizing problems. The 1962 Seattle Century 21 World's Fair and the 1992 United Nations Rio Agenda 21 are reviewed. Local urban communities are studied: a city block, a neighborhood, and a city district, in Berlin and in Seattle. What are these communities capable of achieving with local resources ? To what extent are they dependent on external conditions and city, national, and international level programs? The roles of civil society and the historical evolution and accumulation of local resources is analyzed, to generate a theory of sustainable local development. Comparing the significance of ethical concerns and ecological limits, civil society actors, and external support. LA 21 initiatives are at odds with development policies emphasizing economic growth and world trade. Sustainable development projects focusing on 'local quality of life' can inadvertently provide support to globally unsustainable development strategies while local sustainability is imported from distant communities. U.S. and German efforts are key to the success of any eventual global sustainable development.

- s***s (2970)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCondition excellent, as described, well packaged, dispatched promptly.Excellent communication from seller. Arrived ahead of anticipated delivery dates. ARRIVED 1st May, expectected between 24th May and 3rd June. Thank you. No import tax payable. A very pleasing experience. Would recommend this seller. A book l have been seeking to replace for 7 years after it got misplaced when moving house after bereavement.
- a***l (338)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough the description details were misleading, the customer support was rather good. I ordered the 2-volume set of ‘Atlas Shrugged’, but received a single volume. It might not seem like much to others, but it’s a large book and a 2-set volume would have made it easier to read. In addition, poor packaging damaged the DJ. Anyways, after sending firm, yet precise and polite emails, the situation was promptly resolved, hence the positive feedback; and, why I would buy again from the seller. 👍
- c***r (537)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook as specified, rapid delivery (from USA to UK), and a reasonable price for the book. Overall, my book arrived in "ok quality" packaging. A padded "book mailer" envelope was used. However, inside, there was no other protective packaging. One small point of constructive feedback: perhaps cardboard packaging could have been implemented, as a number of competing book sellers are now implementing cardboard packaging, especially for higher price books subject to international delivery.
