Why do bourgeois approaches to urban environmental sustainability tend to put so much emphasis on green technologies?
1. Because a technology-heavy approach to environment requires little structural economic change, leaving capitalism and its shibboleths (growth, privatization, individualism) unthreatened.
2. Because the technological approach to environment makes promises of profit as well as sustainability.
3. Because such an approach allows economists to indulge in simplistic, one-dimensional models decoupled from a more complex, holistic analysis encompassing social, cultural, ideological and historical as well as economic factors.
4. All of the above.
