Seven Rules for Sustainable Communities: Design Strategies for the Post Carbon World

Questions of how the design of cities can respond to the challenge of climate change dominate the thoughts of urban planners and designers across the U.S. and Canada. With admirable clarity, Patrick Condon responds to these questions. He addresses transportation, housing equity, job distribution, economic development, and ecological systems issues and synthesizes his knowledge and research into a simple-to-understand set of urban design recommendations. No other book so clearly connects the form of our cities to their ecological, economic, and social consequences. No other book takes on this breadth of complex and contentious issues and distills them down to such convincing and practical solutions.Additional ISBNs9781597266505Seven Rules for Sustainable Communities: Design Strategies for the Post Carbon World is written by Patrick M.
