Description :
The paper presents a comparative analysis of how representatives of the cities of Nottingham and Eindhoven respond to the challenge of communicating more effectively with citizens about issues of sustainability. There is a consensus in attributing responsibility for public alienation and resistance to environmental communications to the content and styles of media reporting. There are contrasting discursive constructions of the public, which reflect different political cultures. Participants focus on what institutions themselves can and should do to progress environmental goals.
