Product Description
Product Description
How can we put the pulsing heart of conviviality back into our cities? How can we make sure of creating cities of diversity for the new millennium - places of cultural vigour and physical beauty that are also sustainable in economic and environmental terms? This Schumacher Briefing shows the way forward.
From the Author
This short book is meant to make a positive contribution to the quest for sustainable development. The new millennium gives us a special opportunity to focus our minds on how the age of the city can also become an age of sustainability. I wish to contribute to this discussion in order to make some constructive suggestions, whilst I am also aware that the sustainable city is still a singularly elusive creature. The following text speaks for itself.

Herbert Girardet's 'Creating Sustainable Cities' carries on his work from 'The Gaia Atlas on Cities' and 'Making Cities Work' but this time concentrates more specifically to large cities and their ecologigal problems. Girardet uses a consistent writing style with brilliant examples in form of case studies and manages to give a sound perspective on sustainable development in less than a hundred pages. An essential read for anyone interested in sustainability.

clear and precise, easy to read the knowledge within the book is easy to grasp.
Format:Paperback
Girardet's text is a clear, concise manifesto on climate change and is well worth a read. Some of the ideas do however feel a little dated (more so I would say than some other texts of the same age). Perhaps this is testament to just how many of his ideas have been embraced by the development community since it was written.
