The first edition was extremely well received, providing an introduction and insight to this important topic in a comprehensive yet easy to read form. It was chosen to be issued to the representatives of the organizations from the G8 and G20 countries attending the University Summit held in Turin in 2009 which addressed the issue of how education and research can assist sustainable development.

"This is a truly remarkable book that successfully fuses together disparate authors, ideas and techniques into a coherent body of theory and practice for assessing the various plans and processes that collectively contribute to achieving sustainability in the built environment. Not only has it become a standard textbook in the ever expanding academic world of sustainable development programmes, but it is now also commonly accepted as an essential handbook for those in the professional practice of implementing sustainable urban development policy. Above all, it helps demonstrate that sustainability is not only the responsible and ethical thing to do, it's the economic and profitable thing too."
―John Ratcliffe, Emeritus Professor and Former Director of Dublin Institute of Technology, President of The Futures Academy, and Fellow of The Henley Business School
Praise for the first edition:
"...thought provoking...a landmark in the theory on sustainable urban development planning."
―Professor Peter Nijkamp, Department of Economics free University of Amsterdam
Sustainable development is one of the most important challenges facing all stakeholders in the built environment. Since the first edition of Evaluating Sustainable Development was published, sustainable development has become prominent and behaviour around the globe is beginning to change.
