More than half of the world's population lives in cities and major metropolitan areas, and in the next two decades the number of city dwellers is estimated to reach five billion. This puts enormous pressures on transportation systems, housing stock, and infrastructure such as energy, waste, and water, which directly influences the emissions of greenhouse gases. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the long emergency awaits us, urgent questions remain: How will our cities survive? How can we combat and reconcile urban growth with sustainable use of resources for future generations to thrive? Where and how urbanism comes into the picture and what \"sustainable\" urban forms can do in light of these events are some of the issues Sustainable Urbanism and Beyond explores. With more than sixty essays, including contributions by Andr s Duany, Saskia Sassen, Peter Newman, Douglas Farr, Henry Cisneros, Peter Hall, Sharon Zukin, Peter Eisenman, and others, this book is a unique perspective on architecture, urban planning, environmental and urban design, exploring ways for raising quality of life and the standard of living in a new modern era by creating better and more viable places to live. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tigran Haas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0847838366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847838363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli International Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.34h x 8.77w x 1.30d","brand":"Tigran Haas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926635348223,"sku":"9780847838363","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_93057e24-337c-4513-b1e8-5db2d28dd589.jpg?v=1681084167","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sustainable-urbanism-and-beyond-tigran-haas-9780847838363","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
