Sustainability has become the key challenge for urban planners,
housing and infrastructure policy makers. Citizens are increasingly
encouraged to live more compactly; in denser urban developments, to
use less water and other natural resources and to choose public
transport. While councils, government agencies and private business
invest in a broad range of promotions offering discounts on
sustainable products and services, uptake has been slow and the
impacts marginal at a time when environmental stresses suggest that
we must act fast. This book examines this pressing problem in a
holistic way, discussing broad-scale sustainability policies and
programmes for achieving sustainable urban futures. It brings
together academics and practitioners to analyze the complexity and
interdependence of principles, models, processes and practices of
sustainability in a range of integrated sectors as well as the
establishment and maintenance of sustainable physical
infrastructure in cities.
