Description
In The Green City a team of city-building professionals explain in straightforward terms how one idea - ecological sustainability - can be embodied in the everyday life of homes, communities and cities to make a better future.
This genuinely innovative book challenges the way we think about our cities, the environment and about planning for the future. The book considers, and answers, three basic questions: What does the global agenda of sustainable development mean for the urban spaces where most people live, work and move? Can we keep what we love about city and suburban life and still save the environment? And what new methods of planning and building will be needed in the 21st century?
The Green Cityfeatures practical case material from Europe, North America, Australia and Asia and weaves together four critical aspects of urban life: housing, open space, workplaces and transport.
