Sustainable Cities

<p><em>Sustainable Cities</em> simultaneously tackles two issues of immediate public concern which also find themselves high on the policy agenda: sustainable environmental development and urban development. The themes of the book - the bringing together of the insights of environmental science the social sciences and management; the combination of problem analysis with practical application; and a critique of urban environmental problems concentrating on air and water pollution - are illustrated throughout with in-depth material and case studies taken from around the world and are approached from a variety of perspectives: economic ecological and managerial. Each chapter has a concluding section pointing to key concepts key reading and a range of discussion points.</p>
