Eco-innovations in Cities
Eco-innovations in Cities will serve as an important book for practitioners and policy-makers looking to develop a strong future for modern cities. The authors present an approach toward sustainability where cities are accountable for providing both ecological stability and economic growth, allowing a city to regenerate not only essential natural resources, but also the neighborhoods and social relationships that are affected by the forces of creative destruction over time. This requires more than simply renovating crumbling infrastructure. It requires creativity in the design of social relationships, political strategies and business models to support investments in green technologies which provide social benefits that can be difficult for entrepreneurs to capture. Fortunately, the authors provide useful, practical examples of cities and business models demonstrating the imagination needed to make sustainable cities a reality in the future.
