Pathways to Sustainable Welfare

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"A much-needed in-depth analysis of challenges and enablers associated with integrating welfare and ecological issues in cities offering guidance and inspiration to academics, policy makers and citizens alike." Milena Buechs, University of Leeds "In the face of calamitous climate collapse, the case for eco-social policy - the simultaneous pursuit of environmental and social goals - is now well understood. This book contributes to understanding how to achieve that, by revealing the potential of cities to pioneer radical policies drawing on research in Sweden's largest cities. It clearly depicts both hope and despair in undertaking such a momentous transformation." Ian Gough, London School of Economics and Political Science "Advocates of ecosocial transformation will find this book's creative exploration of Swedish local government policy, civil society framing and public attitudes very useful. Its Polanyian understanding offers relevant lessons to everyone struggling for a sustainable, just future." Mary Murphy, Maynooth University





"This theoretically novel and empirically rich book is essential reading not only for scholars and students interested in sustainable welfare and eco-social policies, but also for urban planners seeking to reconcile social and ecological dimensions of sustainability." Tuuli Hirvilammi, Tampere University





"A truly informative book that gives great insight into how to enable the changes we need in cities to address climate change together with supporting communities." Harriet A. Bulkeley, Durham University
