Smart Green Cities: is a comprehensive overview of what global
cities are doing to become sustainable. Woodrow W. Clark II and
Grant Cooke have produced a book that is both practical and
visionary. They have examined the infrastructure needs -
sustainable development, communications, energy, water, waste, and
transportation to develop guidelines, processes and best practices.
City leaders are key to mitigating climate change who must plan,
design and implement solutions. Smart Green Cities (SGC) offers a
global perspective that includes implementing the Green Industrial
Revolution the title of their last book. SGC discusses innovative
emerging technologies, and the new economics paradigm that move
beyond the out-dated neo-classical economics. The authors present
examples from around the world including Europe, the U.S, China and
the Middle East, which discuss the best green technologies from
renewable energy power generation to smart on-site grid
development. The extraordinary shift from a rural to an urban world
is described; national plans are analyzed; so that future cities
will be designed, built and implemented now - not 50 years from
now. The struggle for the planet's survival is being waged by the
world's cities. Clark and Cooke argue that cities are the key to
mitigating climate change and reducing toxic greenhouse gas
emissions. SGC introduces sustainable technologies; discusses the
economics for implementing the solutions; and offers numerous
examples to serve as pathways for cities to become smart, green,
and thus carbon neutral.
