Tanya Monforte is an assistant professor of Political Science at Concordia University.

"Extensive urbanization presents humanity with some existential challenges alongside tremendous opportunities. Cleverly curated by Kong and Monforte, this timely collection offers a set of thought-provoking, multidisciplinary perspectives on the place of cities as key sites of twenty-first-century innovation, sustainability, and democratic renewal. The result is a fine exercise of constructive disruption. Highly recommended."

Pamela Robinson, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, Toronto Metropolitan University:

"Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance contributes to discussions and practice focusing on bringing innovation to urban sustainability efforts. The inclusion of communities from Quebec is interesting and important, and the focus on innovation brings a new dimension to urban sustainability literature. This book will be suitable for urban planning, local economic development, politics, and public administration across Canada."
