- Summary
- "In Sustainable Cities, leading experts from their respective fields present concepts and strategies for ecological city design that include: ecological design principles, planning techniques, resource management, community relations, sustainable technologies, construction techniques, economic strategies and much more... Sustainable Cities shows how urban development and the environment can coexist in a successful partnership that will result in better air quality, cleaner water, more nutritious food, less commuting time, quieter and more nature-oriented surroundings, a richer community life, less urban stress, and improved health for the people who live and work in cities. Whether you are a professional involved in shaping our cities, or a concerned citizen seeking the best for your neighborhood, this book contains the range of information you need to be effective in creating sustainable cities." --
