Urban Design: Green Dimensions
Autor Cliff Moughtin, J. C. Moughtinen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 iul 1996
The subject matter of this book is the pattern or structure of the city: it concentrates particularly on the organisation of the public realm. The book aims to relate the main component of urban design to a general theory or urban structuring with a
strong design emphasis but within the general field of sustainable city development. Any discussion of urban design that does not address environmental issues has little meaning at a time of declining resources, ozone layer destruction and fears of the greenhouse effect. The book therefore discusses built form, street block, quarter, city centres and city structure in terms of energy conservation and sustainability.
This book will be valuable in raising awareness and generating debate as well as providing useful reference material. It not only observes and documents the roots and growth of green design but will influence design, transport and policy for the future.

The subject matter of this book is the pattern or structure of the city: it concentrates particularly upon the organization of the public realm. The book aims to relate the main components of urban design to a general theory or urban structuring with a strong design emphasis but within the general field of sustainable city development. There is some doubt about the long term survival of the planet as a vehicle for sustained human occupation in anything other than a degraded lifestyle. Any discussion of urban design which does not address environmental issues has little meaning at a time of declining natural resources, ozone layer destruction and fears of the greenhouse effect. The book therefore discusses built form, street block, quarter and city structure in terms of energy conservation and sustainability.
