Patrick M. Condon,
the James Taylor Chair in Landscape and Liveable Environments at the
University of British Columbia, has just written a new book Seven Rules for Sustainable Communities: Design Strategies for the Post-Carbon World.
The book aims to be an easy-to-use guide to basic urban design rules
that, if followed, can help begin to halt the buildup of greenhouse
gasses and create a more livable world for future generations.
It starts from a premise that Worldchanging covers regularly: the
transformation of cities and metropolitan regions "into places that
strike a balance between their human inhabitants and the planet's air
and water systems" with compact, energy-efficient, and pedestrian- and
transit-friendly design is the key to a bright green future.
