Cities are the key to sustainable living, but they're also complicated places burdened by years of car dominance. In their new book, Ecodesign for Cities and Suburbs, Jonathan Barnett and Larry Beasley share examples from around the world of cities creating tighter neighborhoods, protections from global warming consequences, and more vibrant streetscapes. They also show how innovations can be made within typical planning procedures, making these improvements more practical and easier to implement.
