Within the concept of the sustainable city nothing is fixed; mapped or agreed upon. To some; the term encompasses innovation; change and commitment to the future and to others it means preservation; conservatism and a watchful eye on the future. City Fights follows on from the symposium Energy and Urban Strategies; which brought together contributors from a wide variety of disciplines; with the aim of developing sharp ideas about making better and more sustainable cities in environmental; social and economic terms. The result is a passionate and illuminating debate on this vast question; bringing into focus the complexity and diversity of the issues involved. City fights is essential and thought provoking reading for all with a common interest in the future of the city- from architects and urban designers; urban and town planners and policy makers; to academics and researchers; sociologists; environmentalists and economists.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Okay; but not real insightBy Beachwalker5It was okay; but way; way too short. This book focuses on one point in his career -- college. While it provides some insight into Steve and a small part of his career; it is too brief. The story does explain the title; but does not shine much insight into who he is as a person and an athletic. Enjoyed reading what little there was; but must admit being disappointed.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
