CFGnet has declared the publication of a sustainability concepts paper titled, ‘Cities as Forces for Good in the Environment: Sustainability in the Water Sector,’ written by M Bruce Beck.
This book, a result of nine years of effort by the author, which actually started as the Background Discussion Document for the first Leading Edge Sustainability (LES) Conference of the International Water Association (IWA) is enriched from his professional exposure in systems thinking.
The book, which essentially covers entirety of the Triple Bottom Lines such as environmental benefits, financial feasibility and social legitimacy conveys them flawlessly. The book depicts the intellectual journey of the author and his quest for sustainability in writing a book, which is called a “Manual of Practice for the Whole of Life”.
The book does not just detail about ideas, not on the far-away TBL future of the inter-generation or about the supposed to be TBL future. The paper on sustainability concepts registers about whom among the social entrepreneurs, non-government organizations, public utilities and businesses, accomplishes the most in the fields of their work or practices. Certainly, the book informs where actually the TBL Frontier is striving past the vision of any theoretical TBL future.
