Eco-city planning is a key element of urban land use planning in
perspective and of ongoing debate of environmental urban
sustainable development with a spatial and practical dimension. The
conceptual basis of ecological planning is that we can no longer
afford to be merely human-centred in approach. Instead, the
interdependency of human and non-human species has forced us to
appreciate the 'rights' and 'intrinsic values' of non-human species
in our pursuit for a sustainable ecosystem. This volume has as
approach an emphasis on environmental planning policies whereby,
for example, energy saving, anti-pollution measures, use of non-car
modes, construction of green buildings, safeguarding of nature and
natural habitats in urban areas, and use of more renewable
resources are promotional norms. Their aims and leading outcome
serve to protect the Earth from adverse effects of global warming
and different sources of pollution threatening the quality of life
of human societies.
