Urban planners in developed countries are increasingly recognizing
the need for closer integration of land use and transport. However,
this updated second edition of How Great Cities Happen explains how
crises like climate change and the lack of affordable housing
demonstrate the urgent need for a broader approach in order to
create and sustain great cities. Offering innovative solutions to
these contemporary challenges, this second edition of How Great
Cities Happen examines new and emerging directions in strategic
land use transport planning and analyses how cities function as a
home for future generations and other species. Taking an integrated
approach, and building on the first edition, chapters explore a
broad range of issues concerning strategic urban planning. These
include planning for productivity growth; social inclusion and
wellbeing, with a particular focus on planning cities for children
and youth; housing affordability; environmental sustainability; and
integrated governance and funding arrangements. New issues covered
in this edition include pressing concerns like climate change and
biodiversity protection. The authors adopt a meticulous yet
non-technical and accessible approach, grounded in a blend of
academic and real-world experience of cities. This
transdisciplinary second edition will prove vital to students and
scholars of urban planning, transport economics, and social and
environmental policy, alongside professional planners and urban
policymakers.
