A good primer but not a best practice handbook,

This review is from: The Ecology of Place: Planning for Environment, Economy, and Community (Paperback)
The scholarly work in this area has evolved a lot during the ten years since this book was published. If you are interested in the early history and development, this is a good choice. If you want to learn what can be done to improve your community's sustainability, however, this is not it -you'll be disappointed. Read "Taking sustainable cities seriously" by Portney (2004) instead. More inspiring and useful examples in there.
