Cities and Sustainability (eBook, PDF)

A new approach

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the ways in which cities are both the biggest threat to sustainability, and the most powerful tool to get us to sustainable development. Providing population projections for the world's larger cities and a hierarchy of sustainable cities, the author develops two new tools: (i) a cities approach to physical and socio-economic boundaries, and: (ii) sustainability costs curves. These tools are designed to be implemented in a multi-stakeholder, integrated partnership that truly maximizes the benefits of cities in the quest for sustainability.
