Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Garden City Mega City is a timely and challenging book for anyone concerned by the global consequences of the unsustainable growth of those cities.

The fossil-fuelled energy consumption of our cities is destroying the planet.Garden City Mega City illustrates the depressing realities of life in the mega cities, and documents the ill-advised planning decisions that created such blighted environments.
