Description
'Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood' explores the way that the UK's towns and cities are changing at the turn of the millennium. Previously
known as 'Building the 21st Century Home', the second edition of this successful text describes the way that environmental and demographic
change, economic pressures and the needs of community
could change urban areas forever just as the garden city movement did a century
ago.
Some of the arguments that were so contentious ten years ago are now widely accepted. Others rumble on, particularly after
another property crash that has hit urban apartments. The central point, however, remains; urban renaissance will not be achieved by
coercion but by the creation of positive urban models. Through case studies, the book describes one such model, the Sustainable Urban
Neighbourhood: mixed-use, mediumdensity urban development, designed to minimise resource use and maximise community.
This classic
text will be essential reading for urban designers, architects and planners, and anyone involved in the development of new homes and
the regeneration of towns and cities.
Audience
Architects, urban designers and students of the same.
