| Publisher Description: Cities are centers of economic and social activity. They can grow; they can decline. There is not a one-size-fits-all solution to make a city sustainable. Different aspects of urban life need to be addressed. It is not just about building green spaces, attracting innovative and green businesses, and building strong public transport. It is about looking at a city as a whole, including the well-being of its residents. A comprehensive guide to creating a fully sustainable green city, using everything from solar, wind, and hydropower to geothermal energy. The author tackles the challenges which inevitably arise in promoting healthy and economically sound urban growth without hurting the environment and depleting natural resources. |
