Devolving Sustainability Policy to Local Government: A Case Study of Newcastle Download

Description:

Over the last decade there has been increased expectation that local governments around the world will accommodate principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) in their urban policies. This has provided the support for many neo liberal governments, preoccupied with fiscal constraint, to devolve sustainability strategies to the local level.This article explores the implementation of ESD by local government within the context of higher tiers of government withdrawing from the broader vision of the Australian sustainability strategy that had been established in 1992.
