Since originally published in 1996, Ecological Design has helped usher in a new era in green design and sustainability planning. The book has been critically important in sparking dialogue and triggering collaboration across spatial scales and design professions in pursuit of buildings, products, and landscapes with radically decreased environmental impacts. This 10th anniversary edition is designed to make the work available to a new generation of practitioners and thinkers concerned with moving our society onto a more sustainable path.

The book uses numerous examples from architecture, industrial ecology, sustainable agriculture, ecological wastewater treatment, and many other fields to provide a framework for integrating human design with living systems. Drawing on complex systems, ecology, and early examples of green building and design, the book challenges readers to go further, creating buildings, infrastructures, and landscapes that are truly restorative rather than merely diminishing the rate at which things are getting worse.
