Combining rigorous research with practical insights, this book presents fresh empirical evidence and underrepresented perspectives that challenge mainstream development narratives, highlighting the complex, multifaceted nature of sustainable growth. Through ten carefully crafted chapters, readers explore diverse economic sectors and disciplines, discovering how greener economies can be built through circular economy principles, conservation initiatives and socially inclusive approaches that leverage music, digital platforms and community engagement. The book emphasises the transformative potential of transitioning away from fossil fuels, demonstrating how sustainable innovation can simultaneously generate employment, strengthen local resilience and protect the environment for future generations. A distinctive feature of this volume is its interdisciplinary approach, bringing together insights from governance, public expenditure, higher education and emerging industries such as cannabis farming. By examining topics such as trust in government, corruption and the role of higher education institutions in fostering regional innovation, the authors provide a holistic view of the drivers and barriers to sustainable local economic development. Each chapter offers actionable strategies, helping policymakers, researchers and practitioners understand how to harness new technologies and green practices to promote inclusive economic growth while addressing social and environmental challenges. Going beyond theory, the book provides scientifically grounded frameworks for understanding how sustainable innovation can enhance competitiveness, attract investment and open new market opportunities for African economies. It equips scholars, academics, professionals and students with the knowledge needed to advance sustainable development goals, stimulate economic growth and improve quality of life for communities across the region. Rich in conceptual depth and interdisciplinary insight, this volume is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of innovation, technology and sustainability in building resilient, environmentally conscious local economies in Africa and beyond. pubtype: eBook doctype: Book ougenre: Book language: English copyright: @attributes: flag: N copyrightText: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
