With increasing awareness of the urgent need to respond to global
warming by reducing carbon emissions and recognition of the social
benefits of car-free and car-lite living, more and more city
planners, advocates, and everyday urban dwellers are demanding new
ways of building cities. In Low Car(bon) Communities, authors
Nicole Foletta and Jason Henderson examine seven case studies in
Europe and the United States that aim explicitly to reduce
dependency on cars. Innovative and inspirational, these communities
provide a rich array of data and metrics for comparison and
analysis. This book considers these low car(bon) communities
potential for transferability to cities around the world, including
North America. Aimed at practicing city planners, sustainable
transportation advocates, and students in planning, geography, and
environmental studies, this book will be an invaluable benchmark
for gauging the success of sustainable urban futures.
