ET 10/96: The Good City and the Good Life: Renewing the sense of community The Good City and the Good Life: Renewing the sense of community Book Review contributed by David Campbell aniel Kemmis, mayor of Missoula, Montana, is one of the nation's most astute interpreters of civic life and the practice of citizenship. This book, based on his experiences as mayor and his travels to communities around the word, documents the small, patient and encouraging steps by which citizens are reviving democracy and building more sustainable communities. Two of the book's primary arguments bear directly on the concerns of sustainable agriculture: 1) the idea that direct marketing arrangements, particularly farmers' markets, are critical not merely for promoting local commercial activity but also as vehicles for civic renewal, and 2) the view that 'citistates' (i.e. cities and their surrounding region) are and should be replacing the nation-state as the proper frame for political and economic life as we head into the next century.
