Sustainable London explores the results in ruthless detail – seen in the ‘post-political’, socially cleansed ‘mixed communities’, complete with their ‘poor doors’ and ‘anti-homeless spikes’. "It’s no longer a surprise that the words ‘sustainable development’ at best are marginal adjustments, or more likely, cynical greenwash. The authors remind us of the things that really matter in life and the political battles that need to be won over wages, housing, transport and the environment." Professor Jane Wills, Queen Mary University of London This important new book calls for a renewed emphasis on social justice in urban policy making. "Sustainability is a term that has risen in prominence just as global cities like London are becoming ever less sustainable. "A valuable resource for those interested in the study of sustainable development strategies and policies." Town Planning Review "This book is both topical and timely given the extensive debate about sustainability and the challenges caused by financial austerity and welfare reform." Dr Tony Manzi, University of Westminster
