Description

The early 2020s unleashed a perfect storm on governments worldwide.

Logistical challenges never before anticipated left some communities flailing while others thrived.

Epidemics, natural disasters, and economic collapses inspired innovation and creativity in many resourceful civic teams. In Local Governance in Transition, Mary Louise McAllister argues that communities wanting to thrive tomorrow must reimagine local governance today.

She begins with an overview of how government evolved in Canada, then examines how interdisciplinary initiatives and policies can nudge cities toward a more sustainable future.

From coast to coast to coast, environmental change brings existential challenges for Canadian communities.

Global awareness and collaboration are key in finding creative solutions for local governance and sustainability. Local Governance in Transition examines systems thinking, environmental studies, and the mechanics of government.

Through the adoption of collaborative urban planning and policymaking, and adaptive learning systems, those working in local governance can foster healthier, more resilient communities.

This text is for students, leaders, civil servants, and anyone working toward sustainable cities.
