Cities, rather than nations, have become the key sites of enacting environmental policies. This is due to the combination of an increasing urban population and the increasing amount of action on the part of local government as national governments have failed to act on climate change-cities are the solution as well as the problem. Understanding how actors in local government conceptualize sustainability and their role in producing it, and what difference that understanding makes to their physical, political, and social environments now and in the future, is the focus of Creative Urban Environmental Governance.
