Mitigating Climate Change : The Emerging Face of Modern Cities / edited by Anshuman Khare, Terry Beckman.
With ever increasing trends in urban consumption and production
practices, a call for action to mitigate Climate Change is often seen as
a way to foster sustainable development. Considerable attention is now
being paid to determine what urban sustainability would include. Today
there is a pressing need to broaden our knowledge and apply new concepts
and frameworks to development of modern cities. Building on the
foregoing, this book attempts to bring together and discuss concepts,
tools, frameworks and best practices to cope with the emerging
challenges faced by cities today. The book will be of use to policy
makers, city planners, practitioners and academics who are starting to
project what modern cities would need to do in terms of energy
efficiency, mobility, planning and design of habitat and infrastructure
and adapting to climate change.
