講座摘要：
In the United States, the federal government drove much of the environmental cleanup actions during the 1970s and 1980s. Since then, as issues became more complex and the U.S. national government retreated from many environmental issues, local governments have been thrust to the forefront of sustainability. Big cities, such as New York, Boston, and Chicago, garner a lot of publicity for their sustainability successes. However, most Americans live in smaller communities that lack the capacity and/or political will to act on issues of environmental protection, social justice, and equitable economic development, especially when those issues deal with regional or global challenges. In his talk, Professor George Homsy will discuss his research into the drivers of sustainability policymaking by local governments. Homsy’s findings also describe the circumstances and strategies that allow some communities to overcome the hurdles to action and the ways in which local policies work better in multilevel governance systems.

George C. Homsy，美國紐約州立大學(xué)賓漢姆頓分校公共管理系助理教授，于康奈爾大學(xué)城市與區(qū)域規(guī)劃系獲得博士學(xué)位，并在2012年春秋季擔(dān)任康奈爾大學(xué)城市與區(qū)域規(guī)劃系客座講師。他的研究聚焦于地方政府在可持續(xù)發(fā)展領(lǐng)域的政策制定、實(shí)施及其效果評估，特別是從多層治理的視角考察推動地方政策可持續(xù)發(fā)展政策行動的影響因素。Homsy教授目前合作主持一項(xiàng)由美國農(nóng)業(yè)部資助的探索農(nóng)村社區(qū)可持續(xù)發(fā)展行動的研究項(xiàng)目，并與美國市縣政府管理協(xié)會（ICMA）和美國規(guī)劃協(xié)會（APA）合作參與地方政府的規(guī)劃與政策實(shí)踐。Homsy教授已在《Urban Affairs Review》、《Environment and Planning C》等SSCI期刊上發(fā)表多篇學(xué)術(shù)論文。
George C. Homsy, PhD, AICP, is an assistant professor in Binghamton University’s Department of Public Administration. His research explores the drivers of sustainability policy change at the municipal level, strategies for implementation, and evaluation of the results. His interest lies in small- to medium-size cities and towns. He is the co-principal investigator on a research project funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture examining sustainability in rural communities. George frequently links his academic research to planning and local government practice through collaborations with the International City/County Management Association and the American Planning Association (APA). Prof. Homsy has published widely in top SSCI journals including Urban Affairs Review and Environment and Planning C, as well as a recent monograph entitled Incentive Zoning: Understanding a Market-based Planning Tool (Cornell University Press, 2015). Prof. Homsy earned his PhD and Masters of Regional Planning from Cornell University and his BS from Tufts University. He has held AICP certification since 2007.
