Produktbeschreibung
In view of the fact that, by 2050, 70% of the world's population will live in cities, the subject of "sustainable urban design" is an important issue for UNESCO's Cities of Design. Taking into account that urban design can make a significant contribution to positive changes in environmental and social matters, the book presents seven inspirational examples for copying; included are analyses and measures for the cities of Detroit, Graz, Istanbul, Mexico City, and Puebla, as well as non-location bound projects.
