Our Chief Executive, Kerry Mashford, has written a chapter on energy use in buildings for this hardback book, and we’re pleased to invite you to the launch eventat 6pm on Wednesday, 1 June at the Town and County Planning Association, 17 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AS.
With more than half the global population now living in urban areas, one of the key issues confronting us today is how we make our growing cities sustainable.Sustainable Cities offers valuable insights for addressing this vital challenge. Edited by Pierre Laconte (President of the Foundation of the Urban Environment) and Chris Gossop (former Vice President of the International Society of City and Regional Planners and also a Trustee of the National Energy Foundation)Sustainable Cities evaluates our urban environments and assesses the progress that is being made towards achieving cities that are sustainable.
Split into three parts, it:
- Examines the built environment (individual buildings, urban neighbourhoods and entire cities and towns).
- Offers a critical assessment of the techniques used to assess urban development, including the measurement of urban biodiversity.
- Presents case studies of best practice, including: Manchester’s waterfront; urban transport in France; Amsterdam’s ring canals; London’s King’s Cross development; and Hamburg’s energy efficient district.
Sustainable Cities is essential reading for academics and professionals in:
- Urban planning.
- Energy and environmental policy, practice and management.
- Urban geography.
- Climate change.
- Environmental science and technology.
We’d be delighted if you could attend the launch and look forward to seeing you there.
