Product Information

In The Sustainability Myth, Melissa Checker uncovers the hidden costs, half-truths, and contradictions of New York City's ambitious quest to become the world's most sustainable metropolitan area. Since the early 2000s, industrial waterfronts across New York City have transformed into futuristic urban oases offering luxurious, eco-conscious living to those who can afford it. Asking whether-and for whom-the green city is sustainable. Checker explores the process known as "environmental gentrification" and examines its consequences for racial and economic justice, environmental health, and the climate. Focusing on both gentrifying and non-gentrifying neighborhoods, Checker finds that the greening of certain New York City neighborhoods was predicated on the "browning" of others, where the city's toxic burdens now cluster. In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, Checker also argues that the city's relentless redevelopment agenda failed to protect its shorelines, and undermined its goals for curbing greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, Checker finds hope in the valiant efforts of local environmental justice activists who work across racial, economic, and political divides to challenge sustainability's false promises. A cautionary, eye-opening tale, The Sustainability Myth takes a hard look at uneven development and the politics of sustainability. Book jacket.

Reviews
Using the saga of the doomed New York Wheel as a dramatic example of short-sighted, ill-conceived urban development or 'sustainaphrenia,' Melissa Checker's ethnography cruelly exposes the failings of neoliberal technocracy. From redlining to rezoning, from environmental justice to environmental gentrification, she brilliantly exposes the ruptured logics of pairing sustainability with urban redevelopment", Using the saga of the doomed New York Wheel as a dramatic example of short-sighted, ill-conceived urban development or 'sustainaphrenia,' Melissa Checker's ethnography cruelly exposes the failings of neoliberal technocracy. From redlining to rezoning, from environmental justice to environmental gentrification, she brilliantly exposes the ruptured logics of pairing sustainability with urban redevelopment., A timely work on the burgeoning literature surrounding environmental gentrification as it relates to New York City's intent to become the world's most sustainable metro area ... Libraries with reserves focusing on environmental gentrification, urban issues, and political change should have this volume in their collection., "In this revelatory study, based on assiduous fieldwork, Melissa Checker exposes the false promises of "sustainability." She coins the word 'sustainaphrenia' to convey the feeding frenzy of politicians, real estate moguls, developers, planners, and upscale homebuyers who are lulled by the siren of Bloomberg's 'luxury city,' facilitated by the rezoning of vast swaths of New York City. The result is the greening of some neighborhoods and the browning of others. Checker also comes to the epiphany that the environmental justice activists whom she admired are another symptom of sustainaphrenia, as the twin threats of overdevelopment and climate change are cast asunder.", "In this revelatory study, based on assiduous fieldwork, Melissa Checker exposes the false promises of "sustainability."
