Greenovation builds upon Fitzgerald's earlier book, Emerald Cities, offering a detailed analysis of green technology to mitigate and perhaps combat rising climate change....Two notable features stand out: her incorporation of racial justice considerations and her targeting of the negative role of China in undercutting North American and European greenovation programs....This is a book that every community activist and city planner concerned to move climate action policies forward should not only have...but should be heavily underlined to highlight its key insights, best practices, and major policy lessons.
Joan Fitzgerald is Professor of Urban and Public Policy at Northeastern University. She focuses on urban climate action policy, governance, and finance. She is co-authoring her next book on cities and the struggle for climate justice.
