    An assessment of sustainability initiatives in over 200 cities offering a practical approach to just sustainability as a framework for urban development

    Urban Sustainability and Justice presents an
    innovative yet practical approach to incorporate equity and social justice into
    sustainable development in urban areas, in line with the commitments of the UN's
    Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda. This work proposes a
    feminist reading of just sustainabilities' principles to reclaim sustainability
    as a progressive discourse which informs action on the ground. This work will help the committed
    activist (whether they are on the ground, working in a community, in a non-governmental
    organization (NGO), in a business, at a university, in any sphere in
    government) to connect their work to international efforts to deliver environmental
    justice in cities around the world.

    Drawing
    on a comparative, international analysis of sustainability initiatives in over
    200 cities, Castan Broto and Westman find limited evidence of the
    implementation of just sustainabilities principles in practice, but they argue
    that there is considerable potential to develop a justice-oriented
    sustainability agenda. Highlighting current successes while also assessing
    prospects for the future, the authors show that just sustainabilities is not merely
    an aspirational discourse, but a frame of reference to support radical action
    on the ground.
