Argues that environmental justice and the sustainable communities movement are compatible

Popularized in the movies
Erin Brockovich and A Civil Action, “environmental justice” refers to any local response to a threat against community health. In this book, Julian Agyeman argues that environmental justice and the sustainable communities movement are compatible in practical ways. Yet sustainability, which focuses on meeting our needs today while not compromising the ability of our successors to meet their needs, has not always partnered with the challenges of environmental justice.

Sustainable Communities and the Challenge of Environmental Justice explores the ideological differences between these two groups and shows how they can work together. Agyeman provides concrete examples of potential model organizations that employ the types of strategies he advocates. This book is vital to the efforts of community organizers, policymakers, and everyone interested in a better environment and community health.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Covering both theory and proactive, environmental organizations are indexed according to their commitment to justice and/or sustainability principles as set forth in their mission statements. Examples illustrating broad issue categories of successful projects that exemplify just sustainability enhance the discussion" ― Choice

"A lively and thought-provoking text, with informative case study examples, which allows the reader plenty of opportunity to follow Agyeman’s reasoning and analysis." ―
Journal of the American Planning Association

"Agyeman’s advocacy for just sustainability effectively addresses the equity deficit of mainstream sustainability. In his conclusion, he suggests a number of strategies that could be of use to those of us in the design community. One of these is the concept of an ‘environmental space,’ built on the idea of a sustainable community place. In this matrix, not only are traditional environmental resources considered but also included in the equation are social and economic entitlements. Environmental space analysis is exactly the kind of hybrid problem that design professionals commonly work with. This creative reframing of urban space and social justice issues is a strategy that might well be duplicated in rethinking our course projects and other scholarly pursuits." ―

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Julian Agyeman grew up in East Yorkshire during the 1960s and '70s. He is a Professor in the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning (UEP) at Tufts University, Medford-Boston, MA, USA. With a passion for cities, he centers his research on critical explorations of the complex and embodied relations between humans and the urban environment, whether mediated by governments or social movement organizations, and their effects on public policy and planning processes and outcomes, particularly in relation to notions of justice and equity.

For example, are urban planners as good at fostering belonging (recognition, reconciliation, difference, diversity, inclusion) as they are at developing prescriptions for what our cities can become (smart cities, sharing cities, sustainable cities, resilient cities)? His conviction is that 'just sustainabilities', which centers belonging and becoming, can help us think through both, together.

  • Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2015
    I think this book is exceptional and a real treat for anyone interested in environmental issues, as well as bridging the gap between sustainability and 'Green' coalitions with Environmental Justice, providing a more sociological view revolving around local, national, and global sustainability efforts.
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2018
    Great synopsis of equity in the traditional environmental conservation framework.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2006
    The divide between environmental justice activists and sustainability advocates and practitioners is not only unproductive but unnecessary. Julian Agyeman's book "Sustainable Communities and the Challenge of Environmental Justice" demonstrates the prospects of partnership between these often disparate activist groups. By linking environmental justice and sustainability, Agyeman clearly makes the case that environmental quality is inextricably linked to social equity-and that one cannot be achieved without the other. Bringing these two ideas together, Agyeman calls for joined-up thinking in approaches to public policy and planning to achieve what he calls `just sustainability'-a true sustainability agenda that incorporates both social justice and environmental protection.

    In his book, Agyeman examines both the history and theory of environmental justice and sustainability. He demonstrates the prospects for linking these two policy areas by providing a case study of a Boston-based environmental justice NGO, Alternatives for Community and Environment (ACE). ACE has successfully bridged the divide between environmental justice and sustainability through many of its projects and programs.

    For anyone interested in social justice, environmental protection and quality, and advancing principals of sustainability, Agyeman's latest book is a must read. He offers important insight and a vision for `just sustainability,' which will enhance all of our lives.
