CustomO16C33F97422.jpg

Written by the chair of the LEED-Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) initiative, "Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature" is both an urgent call to action and a comprehensive introduction to "sustainable urbanism" -- the emerging and growing design reform movement that combines the creation and enhancement of walkable and diverse places with the need to build high-performance infrastructure and buildings.

Providing a historic perspective on the standards and regulations that got us to where we are today in terms of urban lifestyle and attempts at reform, Douglas Farr makes a powerful case for sustainable urbanism, showing where we went wrong, and where we need to go. He then explains how to implement sustainable urbanism through leadership and communication in cities, communities, and neighborhoods.
