SUSTAINING MICHIGAN BOOK

Edited by: Richard W. Jelier and Gary Sands

The MIHELP Consortium has published “Sustaining Michigan: Metropolitan Policies and Strategies” to link critical, cutting-edge scholarship to pressing issues facing Michigan's metropolitan communities and to increase an understanding of the key economic, environmental, social and political reasons for why change is underway, the challenges to the current system, and the difficulty for Michigan in making substantive changes.

Key metropolitan policies and strategies in the book are organized around sustainability principles of the triple-bottom line: economic prosperity, environmental stewardship and social good. This volume includes a range of academics from across the state who examined existing policies that will define Michigan's future. The well-being of Michigan may very well depend on the critical knowledge and understanding of the complex issues addressed in this book to affect both the current and next generation of decision makers.
