Sustainability: A Bibliography
by Betsy Burton, Librarian
Sustainability addresses the
issues of Social Equity, Environmental Stewardship, and
Economic Vitality on local, regional, state, national,
and international levels. F.O.C.U.S. Greater Syracuse has
named Sustainability as a goal for our region.
Those who work for sustainability on whatever level do so in the hope that our children and the generations that follow them will live on an Earth that is healthy and healthful for all.
The books and DVDs listed here have much to offer, from theory to practice, for all of the roles we play daily— citizens, parents, educators, activists, businesspeople, policymakers—as we work toward making our communities and our world sustainable. All are available for free loan through the Onondaga County Public Library system.
Reserve materials online with your OCPL library card and PIN, or call the Central Library at

Sustainable Syracuse
Students in the Urban Design Studio of the Department of Landscape Architecture, SUNY-ESF, have produced a series of reports, each a component of the City of Syracuse Comprehensive Plan. These reports present an analysis of neighborhoods or city functions and suggestions for improvements that, if effected, would contribute to the overall sustainability of Syracuse. The plans reflect both the assets and the deficits of each area and the presentations are not only interesting but inspiring. The reports issued so far are:
The Hawley-Green Neighborhood Component, 2007.
LN48 Sy8haw
The Commercial Areas Component,
2006.
LN48 Sy8 C7cac
The Housing Component, 2005.
