Brownfields Policies For Sustainable Cities, Joel B. Eisen

Sustainable Development: A Five-Dimensional Algorithm For Environmental Law, J.B. Ruhl

Over time there is likely to be an increasing number of contexts in which sustainability-based policy solutions do not satisfy environmental justice advocates.
