This resource, however, is not inexhaustible; it will only be able to meet the needs of future generations if it is handled sustainably, rather than with an eye for short-term profits and partisan interests. The challenge, then, is to conceive of the city as a regenerative circuit--a complex of spatial and aesthetic qualities that can be sustained and developed over time. \u003ci\u003eThe City as a Resource\u003c\/i\u003e is edited by Nicolas Kretschmann, Mark Michaeli, Tim Rieniets and Christian Salewski, and uses texts, projects and examples to present state-of-the-art urban planning methods and strategies for handling cities as resources, giving new life and new meaning to the idea of sustainable urban design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kees Christiaanse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3868591443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783868591446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jovis Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 7.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Kees Christiaanse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079460679935,"sku":"9783868591446","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45466003407103,"sku":"9783868591446","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4617df60-6b08-4e10-8c62-dd6751a9aa76.jpg?v=1685481271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-city-as-resource-kees-christiaanse-9783868591446","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
