| Summary |
"Working from a strong theoretical base, the author uses case studies and discusses policy developments in order to challenge the conventional wisdom on sustainable design. The book provides a rounded discussion of the application and suitability of current practice and predicts future design needs." "Updating the reader on topics such as energy efficiency, sustainable city forms and the culture of new urbanism, this completely revised and restructured edition also includes new chapters on the Urban Park and Bio-diversity."--BOOK JACKET |
