This book tackles the challenges posed by accelerating
urbanization, and demystifies Social Sustainability, the least
understood of all the different areas of sustainable development.
The volume's twin focus on these profoundly intertwined topics
creates a nuanced and vitally important resource. Large migrations
from rural areas to cities without appropriate planning and
infrastructure improvements, including housing, education and
health care optimization, have created significant challenges
across the globe. The authors suggest technology-rich strategies to
meet these challenges by careful application of data on population
growth and movement to the planning, design, and construction of
operational infrastructures that can sustainably support our
increasingly rapid population growth.

This book investigates the relationship between the dominant
ideologies of British public life in the second half of the
twentieth century and the quality of the social housing built
during this period. The author compares award-winning housing
projects from the 1960s and the 1980s, projects that represent two
major milestones in the development of state-provided housing in
Britain. Her detailed analysis looks beyond the superficial
appearance of housing policy in these two contrasting periods and
provides fascinating insights into the substance of the changes
that took place. The book examines the influence of universalist
and selectivist approaches to social housing and asks important
questions about the connection between social values and government
policy.
