Description
In its first edition, this book effectively anticipated current concerns about climate change. It most significantly outlined the central role of cities in contributing to energy consumption, as well as their future vulnerability. Since then the tsunami, hurricanes, intemperate weather conditions worldwide and the increasing demand on natural resources have made the themes of this most topical book even more pressing. Brought completely up to date with new material including a chapter on Dongtan, the worlds first eco-city, for which Girardet is the outside consultant for Arups, and international examples from Ladbroke Grove solar city in London to Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Copenhagen, Curitiba, Tokyo, Sao Paulo, and New Delhi.
