A team of city-building professionals explain in straightforward
terms how the idea of ecological sustainability can be embodied in
the everyday life of homes, communities and cities to make a better
future. The book considers - and answers - three questions: What
does the global agenda of sustainable development mean for the
urban spaces where most people live, work and move? Can we keep
what we love about suburban life and still save the environment?
And what new methods of planning and building will be needed in the
21st century? Rejecting both economic and environmental orthodoxy,
the book's essential message is that the sustainable city can be
built by a thousand well-directed small changes. It draws on
practical case material from around the world and weaves together
four critical aspects of urban life: housing, open space,
workplaces and transport. A 'photographic essay' of 32 colour
plates illustrates the ideas discussed.
