Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design With Nature

Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design With Nature
by Douglas Farr
Wiley, 256 pagesA broadly-focused and solutions-based look at environmentally sustainable urban design. This heavily illustrated guide calls on planners, architects and designers to reframe their work to do the double-duty of creating great places while reducing the human impact on the environment. Case studies and essays written by Farr and others give a real-world context to the ideas and methods espoused in this ambitious argument on behalf of a new type urban design and development that is interrelated with nature. http://www.planetizen.com/books/2008
