{"product_id":"the-ethics-of-metropolitan-growth-robert-kirkman-9781441113122","title":"The Ethics of Metropolitan Growth: The Future of Our Built Environment","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ethics of Metropolitan Growth is about the decisions people make that shape the built environment, from the everyday concerns of homeowners and commuters to grand gestures of national policy. Decisions about the built environment have taken on a particular urgency in recent months. The financial crisis that began in the home mortgage system, the instability of fuel prices, and long-term projections of oil depletion and climate change are now intertwined with more conventional concerns about metropolitan growth, such as traffic flow and air quality. Now, it would seem, is an excellent time for clear thinking about what the built environment can and should become in the future. \u003cbr\u003eRobert Kirkman argues that decisions about how to configure and live within the built environment have ethical dimensions that are sometimes hard to see, questions relating to well-being, justice, and sustainability. \u003cbr\u003eThis book provides practical guidance for sorting through the ethical implications surrounding metropolitan growth, bringing the most immediate concerns of ordinary people to the centre of environmental ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Kirkman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441113126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441113122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Robert Kirkman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48587760107775,"sku":"9781441113122","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ethics-of-metropolitan-growth-robert-kirkman-9781441113122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
