| Summary |
"This text provides a coherent overview of the important issues in sustainable urban design. The writers focus on the physical aspects of the urban environment - the buildings and their engineering systems, landscaping, transport systems, energy, water and waste systems and successfully cover all the key elements in one volume together with fully illustrated examples of best practice. The contributors, drawn from architectural and planning practices, are recognised experts in this field." -- Publisher description |
