The focus on governance and sustainability, documenting the ways in which public and private actors explore new forms of engagement and redefine their legitimacy, provides an impressive overview and a comprehensive understanding of society/nature relationships in European cities. Pierre Hamel, Universite de Montreal Sustainability is a popular issue which can often produce misunderstandings, having different meanings on an international level.
