Ideal for the classroom as well as the scholar’s bookshelf."" — Richard C. Feiock, Florida State University ""Zeemering unpacks how sustainability is defined and sustainability policy is implemented by local policymakers, community leaders, environmental advocates, and the business community. Utilizing extensive interview data, he weaves together a compelling tale of how one city with numerous challenges and limited resources grappled with this issue."" —Abigail York, Arizona State University ""This detailed case study of urban sustainability provides further justification for scholars to include Baltimore in their research... this book is highly recommended for readers interested in emerging sustainability programs and in conducting case study research. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate, graduate, research, and professional collections.""--M. L. Godwin, University of La Verne, CHOICE February 2015 ""A political scientist, Zeemering uses analytic tools that are not often seen outside of political science literature. I will definitely have my doctoral students read this book as an example of urban fieldwork research that can address urban problems. Students will benefit greatly from the careful descriptions of methodology and the insights Zeemering extracts to better understand the process of change in cities."" — Carla Chifos, University of Cincinnati, Journal of Urban Affaris"
