Understanding Urban Metabolism: A Tool for Urban Planning
Editat de Nektarios Chrysoulakis, Eduardo Anselmo de Castro, Eddy J. Moorsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 aug 2014
The inclusion of sustainability principles into urban planning provides an opportunity to place the new knowledge provided by bio-physical sciences at the centre of the planning process, but there is a strong need to bridge knowledge and practice, as well as for a better dissemination of research results and exchange of best practice. This book meets that need and provides the reader with the necessary tools to integrate an understanding of urban metabolism into urban planning practice.
