Description

The Sustainable City by Steven Cohen provides a comprehensive overview of urban systems in the 21st century. As cities become increasingly important for addressing climate change, this book explores policies and projects underway globally to promote sustainability. From waste management in Beijing to energy infrastructure in Africa, case studies highlight concrete examples of what can be done today to align modern urban life with sustainability. The author synthesizes disparate strands of sustainable city planning into an accessible guide, revealing how everyday choices - such as transportation, energy sources, and food waste - contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle. With practical recommendations and insights, this book offers valuable lessons for anyone seeking to link public policy with promoting a sustainable lifestyle.
