Description

Sustainability stands as a primary challenge for modern urban planners, housing authorities, and infrastructure policy makers. As the world becomes more urbanized, citizens face increasing pressure to live in denser developments, reduce water consumption, and prioritize public transport over private vehicles. While government agencies and private businesses invest in various promotions and discounts for sustainable goods, the actual uptake of these services remains slow. This book addresses the gap between policy intent and real-world impact at a time when environmental stresses require rapid action. It examines the complexities of steering sustainability within an urbanizing global landscape, looking at the effectiveness of current practices and the performance of existing policies. This text provides essential context for professionals and students working within the fields of architecture, landscape, and urban development who need to understand why environmental initiatives often see only marginal results.
