Urbanism in the Age of Climate Change by Peter Calthorpe
According to Ecological Urbanism, relentless and thoughtless development have created a way of living that brings us to a point of reckoning regarding energy, climate change and the way we shape our communities. This title explores the challenges and potential shifts in each of these arenas and how they can affect the future of our communities.
