Our future is in Cities - by the end of the twenty-first century it is thought that three-quarters of the world's population will be urban. Making these cities healthy, vibrant and sustainable is an exceptional challenge which Sustainable Urban Design addresses. The book sets out some of the basic principles of the design of our future cities and, through a series of carefully-seected case studies drawn from UK and European experience by leading designers, illustrates how these ideas can be put into practice. This work provides a clear coherent view of the important environmental issues in urban design. The focus is on the physical aspects of the urban environment: the buildings (and their engineering systems), landscaping, transport systems and so forth, and the energy and material flows including water and wastes. Particular emphasis is placed on exciting new energy systems and how we can move towards cities which are more enjoyable, more interesting and more green while using less energy, materials and water.
