    Content: Urban Environmental Management fills an important gap in today's literature by offering planners and urban decision-makers an account of the disturbing dynamics of environmental change in relation to cities. It shows how the new environmental crisis for cities and the traditional crises have a shared origin - that is, short-term localised planning, which considers a problem deferred or displaced as a problem solved. Now planners - like other decision-makers - are having to take a much longer-term view, one which takes into account the rights of future generations and places the urban system in its global and environmental context. Rodney White considers what difference this new environmental crisis makes to urban planning; the key physical functions of the city that react critically with the environment; how poor environmental quality relates to inequity in the city, and why the improvement of one requires the improvement of the other
    Content: This thought-provoking and practical book will become essential reading for urban planners and managers both as an influential source of ideas and as inspiration for action

    Content: If the modern city is a monument to anything, it is a monument to man's inefficiency. Our cities are plagued by problems of congestion, waste, and pollution that deplete natural resources, damage the environment and reduce the quality of life of citizens.The irony is, as this fascinating new study shows, that it doesn't have to be like this.Building the ecological city describes the problems we face and puts forward solutions to the question - how can we build cities that provide an acceptable standard of living for their inhabitants without depleting the ecosystems and bio-geo
