- W2599682944 abstract "Sustainable London? The future of a global city , Rob Imrie and Loretta Lees (eds), Bristol, Policy Press/University of Bristol, 2014, xviii+326 pages, £27.99 (pbk), ISBN: 9781447310600Sustainable London? The future of a global city is an important reference source for professionals, scholars and researchers in various fields, such as geography, urban planning, sociology, sustainability science, land management and urban studies. It has fifteen chapters, divided into five sections, which were written by the leading established scholars and some of the most promising ones in the study of policy-making for urban sustainability.The first part deals mainly with the key challenges to achieving sustainable development in London. In Chapter 1, Rob Imrie and Loretta Lees outline the different dimensions of sustainable development discourse in London since 2008. For the authors, promoting both privatisation and property investment has achieved importance in shaping spatial development strategies. In light of this, 'London's histories are embedded in social and political struggles over people's access to land, property and public space, means of livelihood, or creating possibilities for socially sustainable ways of living' (6). Chapter 2 provides a conversation between Anna Minton and the editors. This conversation offers an 'important reference for understanding sustainable development in London' (29). In Chapter 3, Rob Brown, Michael Edwards and Richard Lee provide an interesting narrative of the formation and evolution of 'just space'. Hence, this chapter 'highlights its main success and failures, and reflects on some of the issues confronting Londoners as they seek to influence, or even take control of, their city' (44).The second part of the book provides overviews of sustainable development discourses in London. In Chapter 4, following the emergence of the austerity era and the global credit crisis of 2008-09, Emma Street argues that the understanding of sustainable development has become more closely aligned to a politics of economic development. In Chapter 5, Mike Raco examines the interconnections between governance capacities and future planning practices in the wake of economic austerity agendas. The author highlights some of the challenges that have taken place in London, analysing 'their impacts on governance agendas and frameworks' (92). Cathy McIlwaine and Kavita Datta, in Chapter 6, review the emergence of a migrant division of labour during a period of economic prosperity in London. They conducted research with Bulgarian and Latin American migrants in order to examine 'the experiences of recession among migrants and how they copy once settled' (111). In this way, to the authors 'a consideration of the role of migrant labour is central to conceptualising sustainable development in relation to a city such as London' (112). Chapter 7 examines how the impact on top of the Housing Benefit and benefits cap will be to increase housing costs for low-income families in central and inner London. According to Chris Hamnett, welfare cuts intensify the process of social segregation, also resulting in significant adverse direct residential displacement impact.Part 3 emphasises the challenges for a socially sustainable city. In Chapter 8, Loretta Lees investigates the attempts to fight the state-led gentrification and the displacement of low-income populations from inner London 'in what has amounted to a bottomup fight for social sustainability' (150). …" @default.
