ABSTRACT
While the city of Savannah, Georgia, cannot presently be considered sustainable in any true sense of the word, a complex interplay of geography, history, industry and human proclivity has placed the city at an intriguing crossroads that promises to lead to a very different attitude towards nature, social relations and economic prosperity. This chapter discusses familiar and urgent challenges facing the city and examples of ways that the difficulties associated with water supply, overuse of cars and unaffordable housing are being addressed.
