With more than half of the world’s population now living in urbanized areas and the threats of climate change and resource depletion evident, sustainable urban design is a critical field. The Sustainable Urban Design Handbook gathers the best sustainability practices and latest research from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, planning, development, ecology, and environmental engineering and presents them in a graphically rich and accessible format that is relevant to urban design projects in cities of all sizes.

The book presents a comprehensive framework that organizes the +50 elements of sustainable urban design under five main topics: Energy Use & Greenhouse Gas, Water, Ecology & Habitat, Energy Use & Production, and Equity & Health, and relative to four project scales: Region & City, District & Neighborhood, Block & Street, and Project & Parcel. This organization allows people to see the range of elements they could address in any given project, as well as related elements at other scales and co-benefits. Each element is described in a dedicated section that describes its importance, background, compares typical practices and recommended approaches, explains connections to other elements, and concludes with urban design guidelines that can be used to directly inform projects and decisions.

Easy to use and reference, The Sustainable Urban Design Handbook provides both an in-depth introduction to topics across sustainable urban design and serves as an on-going reference for anyone involved in the creation of sustainable urban environments. This resource will be useful to design and planning professionals, community members, students, and elected officials in guiding decisions about our sustainable future.



This book presents a comprehensive framework that organizes the elements of urban design in relation to four main resources: transportation, water, ecology, and energy use and production. It is an in-depth introduction to sustainable urban design and a reference for anyone involved in the creation of sustainable urban environments.

Recenzijas

"For the past twenty years, we have seen how sustainable design can be addressed through nature-based systems and solutions. With climate change and resilience as critical concerns, we need to push these boundaries with our design interventions. Resources like The Sustainable Urban Design Handbook can help all disciplines to do that." Margot Long, BCSLA FCSLA ASLA, Principal, PWL Partnership Landscape Architects Inc., Canada

Making great urban places combines ecology, design, and the social sciences at many scales. The Sustainable Urban Design Handbook is comprehensive road map for doing this holistically, with detail for practitioners and accessible writing for community members alike. Blaine Merker, Gehl, Director and Head of Climate Action, USA

"This well-researched and comprehensive book makes sense of the often confusing and counteracting, multiple threads that must work together to produce sustainable urban design. It will be very useful to professionals, community stakeholders, elected officials, and students." Ellen Dunham-Jones, Professor and Director of the Urban Design Program at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Author of Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs
