In Collaborative Strategies for Sustainable Cities, Zeemering uses Baltimore as his backdrop to produce a careful and nuanced analysis of how sustainability is defined and implemented at the city level, and how it matters. Ideal for the classroom as well as the scholars bookshelf.

Richard C. Feiock, Florida State University

Zeemering unpacks how sustainability is defined and sustainability policy is implemented by local policymakers, community leaders, environmental advocates, and the business community. Utilizing extensive interview data, he weaves together a compelling tale of how one city with numerous challenges and limited resources grappled with this issue.

Collaborative Strategies for Sustainable Cities

Baltimore, like many other cities around the globe, is redesigning local government policy and programs in order to become a more sustainable city. Sustainability, as a concept guiding public action, encourages city officials to integrate policy and programs addressing the economic, environmental, and social health of the community. City governments, including Baltimore, have adopted plans to integrate this new priority into local policy and program management. Reorienting city policy and programs to address an emergent concern like sustainability requires collaboration between city government and various actors and organizations in the community.

Collaborative Strategies for Sustainable Cities examines how cities define sustainability and form policy implementation networks to integrate sustainability into city programs. Using the city of Baltimore to describe and analyze the involvement of the participants in local sustainability efforts in rich detail, Eric S. Zeemering argues that when we think about the sustainable city, the city government is not the best unit of analysis for our investigations or policy planning. Instead, policy networks within cities carve out slices of a sustainability agenda, define sustainability in their own ways, and form implementation networks with city government officials, neighborhood and community organizations, funders, and state and federal agencies in order to achieve specific goals. When cities begin to integrate sustainability into policies and programs, surveying and understanding competing definitions of sustainability within the community may be central to their success.

The books rich array of data, including qualitative data from elite interviews and public documents, Q-methodology and social network analysis will make for an engaging read to scholars of political science or public affairs as well as the interested citizen or policy advocate.

Eric S. Zeemering is an assistant professor in the Department of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). He completed a Ph.D. in political science at Indiana University. His research and teaching explore collaboration in public management and policy implementation.

Routledge Studies in Public Administration and Environmental Sustainability

Edited by Daniel J. Fiorino and Robert F. Durant, American University

Climate change, loss of habitat and bio-diversity, water security, and the effects of new technologies are placing pressure at all levels of government for effective policy responses. Old policy solutions and the administrative processes associated with them not only seem inadequate for managing environmental and energy sustainability issues, but even counterproductive. The challenge for societies worldwide often is how best to harness in the public interest the dynamism of markets, the passion and commitment of nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, and the public interest oriented expertise of career civil servants at all levels of government. Routledge Studies on Public Administration and Environmental Sustainability focuses on core public administration questions as they relate to the topics of environmental, energy, and natural resources policies, and which together comprise the field of environmental sustainability.
