The Routledge Handbook on Greening High-Density Cities: Climate, Society and Health: Routledge International Handbooks

Editat de Peng Du, Kheir Al-Kodmany, Mir M. Ali
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 iun 2024
This new handbook provides a platform to bring together multidisciplinary researchers focusing on greening high-density agglomerations from three perspectives: climate change, social implications, and people’s health. Written by leading scholars and experts, the chapters aim to summarize the “state-of-the-art” and produce a reference book for policymakers, practitioners, academics, and researchers to study, design, and build high-density cities by integrating green spaces. The topics covered in the book include (but are not limited to) Urban Heat Island, Green Space and Carbon Sequestration, Green Space and Social Equity, Green Space and Public Health, Biophilic Cities, Urban Agriculture, Vertical Farms, Urban Farming Technologies, Nature and Biodiversity, Nature and Health, Biophilic Design, Green Infrastructure, Urban Revitalization, Post-Covid Cities, Smart and Resilient Cities, Tall Buildings, and Sustainable Vertical Cities.

Recenzii

"This book provides a thorough, well-researched, and fascinating exploration of broader sustainability issues and their impact on human health. The uniqueness of this book is how it ties the built form and the integration of greenspace which shapes our environments together with aspects of public health and well-being. The research and case studies in the book demonstrate how our urban habitat and humanity in general can benefit from the lessons found within."
James Parakh, Manager of Urban Design, City of Toronto Planning Division
“As cities grow more densely populated and complex in structure, it is time to invest in future city research.  In this book, the editors have collected a remarkable range of research topics which highlight the cross-disciplinary efforts of future city research and the many issues we face designing cities today.  The work is timely, so that we maintain and revive our aging urban infrastructure and continue to seek new and innovative design ideas.  One key aspect of this research is to appreciate and seek more opportunities for the integration of nature, in the form of open green spaces and parks, integrated into our city building blocks, to show that high density is not at odds with a high quality of life.“
