- The Guide to Greening Cities: USDN members, their cities and stories are profiled in “The Guide to Greening Cities” by Sadhu Aufochs Johnston, Steven S. Nicholas, and Julia Parzen (2013). This is the first book written from the perspective of municipal leaders with successful, on-the-ground experience working to advance green city goals. Through personal reflections and interviews with leading municipal staff in cities from San Antonio to Minneapolis, the authors share lessons for cities to lead by example in their operations, create programs, implement high-priority initiatives, develop partnerships, measure progress, secure funding, and engage the community. Additional case studies are available on the companion website. The book is available for purchase through Island Press.
