Description
Net-positive Design and Sustainable Urban Development explores how urban planning, policy, and design can create more ecological and social gains than no construction at all. This approach challenges existing frameworks that often deplete resources and ecosystems, concentrating wealth and exacerbating social disparities.
The book proposes explicit reforms to planning, design, and decision-making processes, enabling development to increase future options and preserve natural life-support systems. It provides academic theory and professional tools for sustainable urban development, including a free computer app for net-positive design.
