Bringing together leading scholars to discuss some of the most pressing concerns about the future condition of our cities, this exciting volume offers a necessary rethink about the challenges confronting sustainable urban development following 'the crisis', and deserves a wide readership among students, academics and policy makers. Gordon MacLeod, Durham University Ideas of creating more sustainable cities are not new, but the economic downturn and the need for ongoing austerity measures have placed sustainability at the heart of political debates globally and within nation states. This book offers a fresh debate into the relationship between economic growth and the wider needs of societies and new insights into how places manage and cope with global crises, and questions the dominance of neo-liberal thinking. Mark Tewdwr-Jones, Bartlett School of Planning, University College London
