Redeveloping Old Havana: The Challenge of Maintaining Social Equity in the Face of Rapid Change
This research explores the ways that professionals and the processes in which they engage for the redevelopment of the historic district of Old Havana, Cuba, consider social sustainability. As Cuba proceeds with ongoing market reforms, the country is faced with significant challenges in maintaining social equity, particularly within the urban region of Havana. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with urban planners, architects, economists, …
The Key Role of Social Inclusion in Promoting Urban Social Sustainability: An Exploration and Application to Health Equity
Building upon a working definition of social sustainability as the processes and institutions that generate health and well-being now and in the future (Dillard, Dujon, and King 2009a), we argue that social inclusion is necessary to ensure that social processes yield collectively higher levels of societal well-being. Social inclusion requires that all persons have effective input into those development processes that affect them, within the curre…
Social Equity and Environmental Health: A Search for Solutions in Portland, Oregon
Social inequities in Portland are evident in human health and well-being. These inequities manifest themselves in part through unequal exposure to stressors in the built and natural environment in neighborhoods. Incorporating the voices of community collaborators our research team investigated promising solutions to social inequalities in environmental health. Through community-based focus group participation and in-depth interviews we examined s…

Transport is associated with environmental problems, economic losses, health and social inequalities. A number of European and US cities have implemented initiatives to promote multimodal modes of transport. In Latin America changes are occurring in public transport systems and a number of projects aimed at stimulating non-motorized modes of transport (walking and cycling) have already been implemented. Based on articles from peer-reviewed academ…

Social Sustainability and Ecotourism: Rethinking Development for Social and Environmental well-being in the Caribbean
Many countries in the Caribbean are exploring ecotourism, alongside mass tourism, as a development strategy in the period following the collapse of export crop industries. Ecotourism as a strategy for economic development has produced mixed, if not disappointing, outcomes for the lives of the majority of people where it has been attempted (Honey 1999; Sinclair 1998). This article makes the argument that successful pursuit of ecotourism to promote…
Local Actors, Nation States, and Their Global Environment: Conceptualizing Successful Resistance to the Anti-Social Impacts of Globalization
Nation-states are faced with multiple contradictions as they mediate the insertion of their domestic economies into the global economy. Drawing on a case study from the Caribbean country of St. Lucia, this paper explores how local community resources may infl uence the terms of their integration in the global economy. It is argued that socially embedded economic institutions that are typically neglected in discussions of economic development are …
