This book is a guide to establishing a city on a sustainable path. It addresses sustainable urban planning issues by breaking the city down to its main components. Written by worldwide specialists from Canada, India, Italy, Palestine, Peru, Spain, and the Netherlands, the book details: urban social and economic factors, including immigration and cultural integration and the formation of slums; the interaction of the city with the environment, including the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA); urban and regional economics; urban planning, including urban sprawl and core revitalization; energy needs, transportation management, basic infrastructural services, the generation and disposal of waste, and water in the region; a city’s preparedness, including risk analysis and contingency plans; and much more. It also presents a "what to do and how to do it" practical roadmap for implementing a sustainability program.
