Envisioning Better Cities: A Global Tour of Good Ideas takes
readers on a world tour of useful, feasible, and novel ideas for
making cities more livable and sustainable. The book visits cities
of all sizes, on all continents, to share what people are doing -
now - to tackle the economic, social and environmental challenges
their communities face. The book travels to Denmark, Australia,
Cuba, China, Canada, Germany, Israel, Brazil, the United States,
and more for good ideas that will engage and empower people to take
part in the future of their city. Whether describing the benefits
of yarn bombs in Madrid, the creation of pollinator pathways in
Seattle, or the transformative power of garbage-for-food programs
in Curitiba, Brazil this book brings together a compelling
collection of examples to shift how we think about improving
cities. To do this, the chapters are organised around the essential
ingredients for improving our cities: Inviting People, Inspiring
People, Connecting People, Communicating with People, Moving People
and Supporting People. The hope is that by taking readers on a tour
of diverse cities - large and small, wealthy and struggling - that
their imaginations will be triggered about what they can do to
improve their own cities.
