Summary: 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. 2017-05-18T04:21:47Z 2017-05-18T04:21:47Z 2013 Book 9783642370304 http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/53478 en application/pdf Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg : Imprint: Springer, 2013.
