Summary:

"This book combines classic and contemporary readings to provide a broad introduction to the topic that is accessible to general and undergraduate audiences. It begins by tracing the roots of the sustainable development concept in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries through classic readings. It then explores dimensions of urban sustainability, including land use and urban design, transportation, ecological planning and restoration, energy and materials use, economic development, social and environmental justice, and green architecture and building. Additional sections cover tools for sustainable development, sustainable development internationally, visions of sustainable community, and case studies from around the world"-- Provided by the publisher.
