Edición de la obra Toward sustainable communities

"Towns and cities face increasing pressure to undertake development initiatives that are sustainable at the same time that more and more services are being downloaded to the municipal level. Caught in this trap between rising expectations on the one hand and increasing costs on the other, local governments are required to be more creative than ever before." "This newly revised third edition of the best-selling classic text offers practical suggestions and innovative solutions to a range of community problems, including: energy efficiency, transportation, land use housing, waste reduction, recycling air quality, and governance." "In clear language, with updated tools, initiatives and resources, a new preface and foreword, this sustainable practices guide remains the best resource available for both citizens and governments."--Jacket.
