Description

In 2008, for the first time in human history, half of the world's population is living in cities. Yet, despite a wealth of literature on green architecture and planning, there is no single book which draws together theory from the full range of disciplines - architecture, planning and ecology - which we must come to grips with if we are to design future cities which are genuinely sustainable. Paul Downton's Ecopolis takes a major step along this path.
