Based on original research, this first volume of a set of
groundbreaking new books sets out a framework for analyzing
sustainable urban development and develops a set of protocols for
evaluating the sustainability of urban development. Protocols
included are for sustainable urban planning, urban property
development, urban design, the construction, operation and use of
buildings. Using these protocols, the book goes on to provide a
directory of environmental assessment methods for evaluating the
sustainability of urban development and also maps out how these
assessment methods are being transformed to evaluate the
environmental, economic and social sustainability of urban
development. Web-based applications are increasingly being used to
support this transformation and the contributors deftly cover this
application and issues concerning the use of information and
communication technologies for evaluating the sustainability of
urban development are also dealt with. With its multidisciplinary
approach, Sustainable Urban Development presents key new material
for postgraduates and professionals across the built environment.
