Description

While climate change, sustainable architecture and green technologies have change into an increasing number of topical issues, concerns regarding the sustainability of the city are rarely addressed. The premise of Ecological Urbanism is that an ecological approach is urgently needed both as a remedial device for the latest city and an organizing principle for new cities. Ecological Urbanism, now in an up to date edition with over forty new projects, considers the city the use of more than one instruments and with a worldview that may be fluid in scale and disciplinary focal point. Design provides the synthetic key to connecting ecology with an urbanism that may be not in contradiction with its environment. The book brings together practitioners, theorists, economists, engineers, artists, policymakers, scientists and public health specialists, with the goal of providing a multilayered, diverse and nuanced understanding of ecological urbanism and how it might evolve one day. The promise is little short of a new ethics and aesthetics of the urban.
