I am happy to announce the publication of a new book, "Building
Sustainable Cities of the Future" available from Springer
(http://www.springer.com/gb/
This book draws upon the expertise of academic researchers, urban
planners and architects to explore the challenge of building the
sustainable cities of the future. It addresses this challenge by
considering current cities and those of the near future, and creates a
picture of the sustainable city from the bottom up.
Individual chapters cover topics such as transport, energy supply,
sustainable urbanism and promoting social equality in large
infrastructure projects. Real-world examples are presented to
illustrate how systems thinking is used to integrate different
components of a city so as to ensure that the whole is more
sustainable than its parts.
Written in an accessible style, this book is intended for general
readers as much as it is for students and researchers interested in
sustainable cities and related topics. It is also ideal for urban
planners seeking best-practice guidelines for sustainable urban
development.
Yours sincerely,
--
