Most Authors Writing On Sustainable Cities Look At Places That Have Excellent Public Transit Systems And Relatively High Density, Such As Portland, Seattle, Or New York. But Ross Contends That If We Can'T Change The Game In Fastgrowing, Lowdensity Cities Like Phoenix, The Whole Movement Has A Major Problem. Drawing On Interviews With 200 Influential Residentsfrom State Legislators, Urban Planners, Developers, And Green Business Advocates To Civil Rights Champions, Energy Lobbyists, Solar Entrepreneurs, And Community Activistsross Argues That If Phoenix Is Ever To Become Sustainable, It Will Occur More Through Political And Social Change Than Through Technological Fixes. Ross Explains How Arizona'S Increasingly Xenophobic Immigration Laws, Sciencedenying Legislature, And Growthatallcosts Business Ethic Have Perpetuated Social Injustice And Environmental Degradation. But He Also Highlights The Positive Changes Happening In Phoenix, In Particular The Gila River Indian Community'S Successful Struggle To Win Back Its Water Rights, Potentially Shifting Resources Away From New Housing Developments To Producing Healthy Local Food For The People Of The Phoenix Basin. Ross Argues That This Victory May Serve As A New Model For How Green Democracy Can Work, Redressing The Claims Of Those Who Have Been Aggrieved In A Way That Creates Longterm Benefits For All.Bird On Fire Offers A Compelling Take On One Of The Pressing Issues Of Our Timefinding Pathways To Sustainability At A Time When Governments Are Dismally Failing In Their Responsibility To Address Climate Change.
