| Publisher Description: Rapid urbanization in the People's Republic of China is creating a raft of environmental, administrative, and livability problems. If not monitored, these problems cannot be addressed and will worsen over time. This book proposes the use of an Environmental Livability Index to monitor these issues. This comprehensive index of urban environmental sustainability is combined with software to provide evidence for use by policy makers regarding environmentally sustainable development. It is a pioneering and practical tool that can be used to demonstrate the present, past, and future dimensions of a livable city. |
