Synopsis:
Questions of how to green developed economies, create a green energy and transportation infrastructure, and halt the deadly increase in greenhouse gas buildup dominate our daily news. Related questions of how the design of cities can impact these challenges dominate the thoughts of urban planners and designers. With admirable clarity, Patrick Condon discusses transportation, housing equity, job distribution, economic development, and ecological systems issues and synthesizes his knowledge and research into a simple-to-understand set of urban design rules that can, if followed, help save the planet.

Condon, a professor at the University of British Columbia, holds the UBC James Taylor Chair in Landscape and Liveable Environments, and is Senior Researcher at the Design Centre for Sustainability at UBC.
