{"product_id":"positive-development-janis-birkeland-9781844075782","title":"Positive Development: From Vicious Circles to Virtuous Cycles Through Built Environment Design","description":"Janis Birkeland presents the innovative new paradigm of 'Positive Development' in which the built environment provides greater life quality, health, amenity and safety for all without sacrificing resources or money. With a different form of design, development itself can become a 'sustainability solution'. A cornerstone of this new paradigm is the eco-retrofitting of the vast urban fabric we already inhabit. The author presents a revolutionary new tool called SmartMode to achieve this end. This book challenges everyone working in or studying the areas of sustainable development, planning, architecture or the built environment to rethink their current ideas and practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janis Birkeland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844075788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844075782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009","brand":"Janis Birkeland","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065847623935,"sku":"9781844075782","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8583164e-b35e-4912-85dd-34e06a87b3a8.jpg?v=1768677639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/positive-development-janis-birkeland-9781844075782","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
