More than ever, there is a need to carve new ways for citizens and different industries and institutions to unite  to cooperate, communicate and collaborate to address growing global sustainability concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book examines one such global collaboration called The BGreen Project (BGreen): a transnational participatory action research project that spans the United States and Bangladesh with the aim of addressing environmental issues via academiccommunity engagement. By analysing and unpacking the architecture of BGreen, Hasan teases out the key factors that are required for the continued momentum of environmentally focused, academiccommunity partnership projects in order to present a workable model that could be applied elsewhere.
