Worldwide, urbanization is steadily increasing, yet many modern
cities are becoming less and less able to accommodate the growth in
their population. Congestion, pollution, low-quality housing,
social fragmentation, noise, crime and inadequate social services
all contribute to a declining quality of urban life. Planners and
policy makers are battling to alleviate the problems with a variety
of urban renewal initiatives, and energy-environmental policies
have become central to their quest for urban
sustainability."Sustainable Cities in Europe" gives a comprehensive
introduction to the available urban energy and environmental
policies. Drawing on a detailed analysis of the CITIES programme of
the Commission of the European Communities, the book includes
detailed case studies of European cities which are devising and
implementing alternative strategies for sustainable growth and
development. The cities discussed include: Amsterdam, Besancon,
Braganca, Cadiz, Dublin, Esch/Alzette, Gent, Mannheim, Newcastle,
Odense, Thessaloniki and Turin.The policy discussions and case
studies in this book will be invaluable for all those
professionally or academically involved in the pressing issue of
city planning development.
