A sustainable city has been defined in many ways. Yet the most frequently quoted understanding is from Our Common Future in 1987. This is a vision of the city that is able to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Two ideas were central to this vision - cities should meet social needs - especially of the poor and not exceed the ability of the global environment to meet needs. After Sustainable Cities critically examines what has happened to these priorities and asks whether these social commitments have been abandoned in a period of austerity governance and climate change and replaced by a darker and unfair city. After Sustainable Cities provides a critical review of what has happened to sustainable cities. The dominant discourse on sustainable cities with a commitment to intergenerational equity, social justice and global responsibility has come under increasing pressure but it is not clear what is replacing this logic. Under conditions of global ecological change, international financial and economic crisis and austerity governance new eco-logics are entering the urban sustainability lexicon - climate change, green growth, smart growth, resilience and vulnerability, ecological security etc. Yet it is not clear to researchers or policymakers how these new - more technologically and economically driven - themes resonate and dissonate with conventional sustainable cities discourse. How do these new eco-logics reshape our understanding of equity, justice and global responsibility? After Sustainable Cities provides the reader with the first comprehensive, critical and comparative analysis of the new eco-logics reshaping conventional sustainable cities discourse. It brings together leading researchers on smart cities, green growth, resource flows, vulnerability and resilience, ecological security and climate change who critically examine how these new eco-logics are reshaping the environmental priorities of cities in both the global north and south. Each chapter carefully considers what these new logics do to the original precepts of sustainable cities and identify what sort of city is now emerging. After Sustainable Cities provides a warning that a much darker more technological driven and narrowly constructed economic agenda is driving ecological policy and weakening previous commitment to social justice and equity.
