Reviews
Peter J. Marcotullio, director of the Institute for Sustainable Cities at Hunter College:
In this improved and expanded second edition of The Sustainable City, Steven Cohen and Guo Dong explore how enduring and successful cities hold the key to global sustainability. Infused with optimism and backed up with forceful arguments, this book provides a much needed policy perspective as to why, how, and to what effect cities have mobilized to build sustainably.

This book shows us how the great cities of the twenty-first century can use sustainable methods to thrive economically while simultaneously providing a higher quality of life for their residents. A must-read for current and future leaders in a rapidly urbanizing world.
