Sustainability by Kent E. Portney is a short, accessible nonfiction work in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series that explains one of the most widely used and contested ideas in contemporary public debate. Rather than treating sustainability as a single fixed doctrine, Portney shows how the term has expanded from its classic environmental definition into a broader framework used in economics, politics, urban planning, and corporate strategy. The book begins with the influential 1987 Brundtland formulation of development that meets present needs without limiting future generations, then traces how that idea has been adapted and sometimes diluted across different settings. Its purpose is explanatory rather than technical: it helps readers understand what sustainability means, why it matters, and why it often becomes controversial. The result is a compact guide for readers who want a clear conceptual map of sustainability without needing a specialized background in environmental science or policy.
