Using case studies from ten European and North American countries, this book discusses the challenges connected to designing viable social architectures in a variety of green communities in urban and rural areas, and in affluent districts and government-subsidised social housing.
Global warming constitutes one of the greatest challenges of our time, but governmental responses have so far been slow and insufficient. Consequently, an increasing number of people have joined a variety of green communities to engage in collective environmental action at the grassroots level. Green communities have the potential to deliver deep and long-lasting behavioural change and carbon footprint reductions, whilst increasing the life satisfaction of participants; however, despite these benefits, they are not spreading as fast as we might expect. Exploring eco-communities, sustainable cohousing, Transition Towns, organic food cooperatives, green neighbourhoods, repair cafés, and more, this book examines why these green communities aren’t developing more rapidly, and considers the challenges that they face to their success. By assessing the problems associated with the management of collective life and decision-making, the book provides the reflexive and analytical tools required to better understand the conditions required for their survival and scalability.
Focusing on how the social architecture of green communities contributes to enriching our understanding of social sustainability as a condition for environmental sustainability, this book will be of value to students and scholars across the social sciences, particularly those with an interest in environmental anthropology, sustainability, sociology, public policy, and communication studies.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
