Subtitle: Prospects for Sustainability

Authors: Christopher A. Simon; Brent S. Steel; and Nicholas P. Lovrich

Book Description: The 3rd updated edition of this text is available at https://open.oregonstate.education/stateandlocalgovernment3e/

This book is a collective effort to understand and apply current conceptualizations of sustainability to a study of state and local government. It is an attempt to focus our attention on a basic understanding of the time-tested institutions and guiding principles likely to take society and governance towards greater advancement. Our work is, however, tempered by a developing understanding of smart growth — growth in productive capacity, quality of life and social justice that does not necessitate large-scale destructive or extractive activity. The growth sought produces widespread mutual benefit, is prudent in design and thoughtful in execution. The growth in question here is mindful of the past, yet builds better lives and futures for our posterity.
