Beskrivning
As urban areas rapidly grow, there is a critical need for new planning paradigms that prioritize sustainability, inclusivity, and resilience. Bringing together perspectives from thought leaders around the world, this book provides an updated, interdisciplinary resource that reflects the urgent challenges of urbanization in the context of climate change, environmental degradation, and social inequality. The chapters are organized clearly into four logical sections: foundational concepts, policy and governance, thematic strategies, and global case studies, providing a coherent progression from theory to practice.
Urban Sustainability at the Margins helps readers understand how to design and implement sustainable solutions in real-world contexts. It bridges the gap between academic insight and professional application, making it a valuable tool for both study and practice.
- Includes practical insights and best practices from case studies of cities around the world to demonstrate successful strategies and lessons learned
- Offers actionable models and planning tools that can be adapted to diverse urban contexts
- Combines insights from multidisciplinary perspectives-urban planning, design, environmental science, and public policy-to support comprehensive decision-making
