In an age when the buzzword is 'sustainability', why do we continue
to build unsustainable cities and regions? Are there alternatives
to car-clogged streets, sterile suburban McMansions and a degraded
natural environment? This book brings planners back to the centre
of the debate. It shows that sustainability can no longer just
apply to the sub-field of planning called 'environmental planning'
but has to permeate all aspects: housing, economic development,
transport, regional coordination and urban design. Showcasing
cutting-edge research from academics and doctoral research
candidates at the University of Sydney, this latest edition of the
Dialogues in Urban Planning series is recommended reading for
professional planners, students and policy makers. We need to find
a way to make our regions sustainable for this generation and for
generations to come.
