How should we interpret the proliferation of "sustainable city" projects? Taking an interdisciplinary approach to comparing cities in the North and South, this book offers a critical analysis of the practices, representations, and discourse surrounding the now global slogan of urban sustainability. It provides insights into how this concept, often reduced to the greening of cities, has become a vehicle for homogenization and social control of urban spaces.
