Description
With the ever-increasing growth of the world's population, there is a universal need for development that can sustain humanity, in settlements of all sizes, without the depletion of our environmental heritage. For this to be effective it is essential that local, national and international frameworks be set up to ensure the application and utilisation of sustainable development objectives.
This book addresses the concept of sustainable place. It looks at the distinctive features of place associated with man's interaction with landscape, architecture and master planning and investigates the potential of these features to form the constituent parts of a framework of assessment. It outlines a framework for determining the energy and environmental capabilities of a locality for sustainable development in consideration of its social, economic, political and cultural prerequisites a framework that may be applied locally but that also bears a direct relationship to national and international concerns for sustainability.
'Sustainable Place' puts forward the potential elements of an aesthetic for sustainability which may be used anywhere in the world, to facilitate human progress whilst avoiding the disastrous environmental consequences that ill-considered development too often entails. It is a subject of vital concern to anyone who cares for the future of the planet, and especially to those involved in the planning and construction of our towns and cities.
