Rezensionen

"In short, these approaches make the book very attractive for all those -students, researchers and professionals- who hope to participate in the construction of a more sustainable world."

Eduardo de Santiago, translated from Ciudad y Territorio

"Establishing collective means to better understand, integrate and improve the diverse intersecting infrastructures humanity depends upon for survival is one of the 21st century's most urgent challenges. Michael Neuman's book, Sustainable Infrastructure for Cities and Societies, holistically addresses this challenge. The book provides useful practical guidance for infrastructure planning, design, finance, management and governance."

Keith Pezzoli, University of California San Diego

"Sustainable Infrastructure for Cities and Societies is unlike any other book on sustainability that
I have read. It redefines what sustainable infrastructure even means, and it manages to articulate
clearly and convincingly both where and how the research and practice of sustainable infrastructure
planning and design should evolve."

Michael Neuman, Journal of Urban Affairs
