The EcoEdge: Urgent Design Challenges in Building Sustainable Cities
Editat de Esther Charlesworth, Rob Adamsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 feb 2011
Each practical case study has addressed issues and then offered solutions to implement sustainable cities across a range of urban scales and cultures. Urgent design challenges explored include population density, recreating infrastructure that supports carbon neutral or low carbon (emission) intensive urban activities, and retrofitting for sustainability.
Highly illustrated, thematically focused and with superb global coverage, this book presents a multi-voiced and yet highly cohesive reference for anyone interested in green issues in urban design and architecture.
