This edited book surveys the major sustainability challenges facing
Asian cities, in particular those related to urban energy and city
cooling. The book discusses the key concepts and issues involved,
addressing the three levels of micro (individual buildings), meso
(neighbourhoods/districts) and macro (whole or large parts of
cities). It illustrates different paradigms of urban development
and explores how to create cooler cities by applying integrated
sustainable design and planning on all three levels, bridging the
gap between specialist approaches by highlighting both built
projects, processes, and research. It also raises questions about
prevalent paradigms of urban development as well as topics relating
to urban district cooling solutions, sustainable construction
materials, and processes towards effective delivery of sustainable
cities. Providing cutting edge insights into hot climate cities in
Asia, this text is also pertinent for the study of cities in other
world regions, notably in developing countries, and of broad
relevance to sustainable urban planning in all contexts.
