Chicago has long been a world leader in innovations of all kinds,
and its response to the need for drastic environmental action to
combat climate change is no exception. In 2008, Chicago developed
the Chicago Climate Action Plan (CCAP) to begin to address these
issues. This book is an examination and exploration of the issues
that the CCAP deals with and how they may be implemented, focusing
on the Chicago Loop area. It also examines the 2030 Challenge,
which has an aggressive goal of 80 percent reduction in carbon
emissions by 2030 for new and renovated buildings. The book is
divided into eight key areas: Buildings, the Urban Matrix, Smart
Infrastructure, Mobility, Water, Waste, Community Engagement and
Energy. Illustrated with full colour photographs, diagrams and
models throughout, this wonderful book takes a clear and
easy-to-understand approach to this complex topic, providing
innovative and insightful strategies for efficient and effective
carbon reduction.
