As stated in the Introduction, the 12 case studies presented in the book provide responses to 8 of the 17 sustainability goals stated in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development presented by the United Nations. This does not mean that the planning innovations analysed in this edited volume are the only answers to the sustainability challenges presented in the 2030 agenda. The planning innovations analysed should be considered as avenues for change but they are the not the only solution to a given sustainability challenge. In that sense, the book highlights the prevalence of contextual factors in shaping planning innovation in a given context. One of main research questions that this edited volume aimed at answering was: Has the concept of sustainability made a difference in urban planning practice?

This chapter addresses some of the philosophical questions concerning education for sustainable development in the field of management studies. This chapter argues that mixing sustainability with mainstream topics on business and management such as Corporate Social Responsibility does not allow a critical approach. Also, it contests the traditional ways of “training managers” without a critical approach to the practice of management. As an alternative, this chapter proposes to link sustainability with the field of ethics and aesthetics. In addition, it proposes to re-think education for sustainability in management studies adopting some ideas from action learning and art-based methodologies. Some examples from the author’s experience are presented in this regard.
