Description
Book SynopsisA toolkit for realising a more sustainable and co-operative urban future.
Trade Review'Uplifting in vision and down-to-earth in practice, this book makes sustainable cities visible, tangible and irresistible' -- Kate Raworth, author of 'Doughnut Economics'
'As global crises multiply and politicians seem unable to act, many are turning to the local for signs of hope... Chatterton makes a powerful appeal for cities to rise to act on climate change, common ownership and genuine sustainability' -- Molly Scott Cato, Green MEP for South West England and Gibraltar
'Without ever losing sight of what's at stake, Chatterton's masterful and accessible book is a must for anyone interested in taking back cities for people and planet' -- J.K. Gibson-Graham, Jenny Cameron and Stephen Healy, authors of 'Take Back the Economy: An Ethical Guide For Transforming Our Communities'
'This is an empowering book, with a manifesto for change that works really well - especially with people fed up with over-hyped 'smart cities' rhetoric and top-down political fixes' -- Jonathan Porritt, Founder Director, Forum for the Future
