Description

Product Description In 'Creating Green Roads', James and Matthew Sipes demonstrate that roads don't have to be the enemy of sustainability: they can be designed to minimally impact the environment while improving quality of life. The authors examine traditional, utilitarian methods of transportation planning that have resulted in a host of negative impacts: from urban sprawl and congestion to loss of community identity and excess air and water pollution. They offer a better approach - one that blends form and function. Through case studies and photos from around the country, 'Creating Green Roads' provides an examination of all aspects of green roads, from transportation policy to the basics of road design, public involvement, road ecology, and the economics of sustainable roads. This comprehensive guide offers a practical strategy for rethinking how we design, plan, and maintain our transportation infrastructure. Review "A valuable resource for transportation planners, engineers, landscape architects, and other professionals associated with the construction of innovative roadway construction, highway connectivity and infrastructure projects. Designers and engineers for both rural communities and metropolitan regions, greenways and other transportation corridors will benefit from the design techniques and case studies described in this powerful manifesto for new highway thinking." --Richard Shaw"Principal, DesignWorkshop" (11/11/2012) About the Author James L. Sipes is a landscape architect, environmental planner, and the author of Digital Land and Sustainable Solutions to Water Resources. Matthew L. Sipes is a civil engineer with HMB Professional Engineers, Inc.
