Concentrating on the planning and design of cities, the three sections take a logical route through the discussion from the broad considerations at regional and city scale, to the larger city at high and lower densities through to design considerations on the smaller block scale. Key design issues such as access to facilities, access for sunlight, life cycle analyses, and the impact of communications on urban design are tackled, and in conclusion, the research is compared to large scale design examples that have been proposed and/or implemented over the past decade to give a vision for the future that might be achievable.

This collection of essays from international contributors presents the latest research about urban forms and how they can be made more sustainable in the future. However, unlike other books on urban sustainability, this book focuses on sustainable planning and design issues from the regional to the block scale.
