Urban Environmental Management: Environmental Change and Design - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This text offers planners and urban decision-makers an account of the disturbing dynamics of environmental change. It demonstrates that this new environmental crisis shares its origins with the traditional crises, and that planners - like other decision-makers - are having to take a much longer-term view, placing the urban system in its global and environmental context. The author considers what difference the new environmental crisis makes to urban planning; the key physical functions of the city which react critically with the environment; how poor quality is related to inequity in the city, and why the improvement of one requires the improvement of the other; and how a new Utopian would address the problems of today.
