AB - 196 | BOOK REVIEWS city government hold some responsibility for implementing sustainability plans. To add depth to these findings, the survey is complemented by case studies of cities that have adopted each of these four organizational struc- tures. Krause and Hawkins find that three of the four arrangements—lead agency consolidation, lead agency coordination, and relationships and bargaining—all have the potential to overcome functional collective action problems and move cities toward their sustainability goals. The final ar- rangement, a decentralized network in which responsibility for sustainability is shared widely with no clearly defined leadership, does not seem to offer a promising pathway for successful sustainability action. The result of this mixed‐methods approach is a carefully crafted, detailed book on the implementation of city sustainability initiatives. Though there are certainly areas where those enmeshed in the topic may take issue, par- ticularly the way the authors define and therefore measure city sustainability, the primary lesson that Krause and Hawkins offer is an important one. Sustainability plans that sit on a shelf get us nowhere. At this stage in the development of cities as important players in furthering sustainability, there must be effective structures in place to turn these plans into practice.
