Eco-Urbanism: Sustainable Human Settlements, 60 Case Studies (Arquitectura y diseno + ecologia)
This book is conceived as a basic desk-side reference manual for anyone involved in the field of urban design and planning. It presents, in an accessible form, the current state of the art in sustainable development master-planning, setting out, mostly in a graphic format and by means of 60 carefully illustrated case-studies, what is considered best-practice in the field. The projects are drawn from all corners of the world, illustrating a global concern for these matters that transcends political and cultural frontiers. The resulting international list of masterplanners whose work is presented in the book includes small highly-specialised local practices as well as various internationally-known firms such as Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, SITE and Daniel Libeskind.
