Life After Carbon

Product Description

A new model for urban development is emerging in cities to aggressively tackle the realities of climate change. It transforms the way cities design and use physical space, generate economic wealth, consume and dispose of resources, exploit and sustain the natural ecosystems, and prepare for the future.
In Life After Carbon, urban sustainability consultants Pete Plastrik and John Cleveland assemble this global pattern of urban reinventing from the stories of 25 "innovation lab" cities across the globe. This book will inspire anyone who cares about the future of our cities, and help them to map a sustainable path forward.
