Social-Environmental Planning (eBook, ePUB)

The Design Interface Between Everyforest and Everycity

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Based on the author's 40 years of experience, this book discusses the sustainability of the planet and its population when dealing with climate change. It focuses on community-based solutions and emphasizes how the heavy lifting of sustainability will always be done inside existing cities and communities. The author suggests that before changes can be made, society must adapt to the circumstances of global climate change in order to determine what can be done to stabilize the global climate as effectively and quickly as possible. He explores the reciprocal interface between communities and the landscape, and explains how government agencies can assist to create solutions that work.
