This timely book introduces architects, engineers, builders, and urban
planners to a range of contemporary community design concepts and
illustrates them with outstanding case studies from around the world.
Drawing on successful projects from London, New Mexico, Austria, and the
Netherlands, "Innovative Sustainable Communities" presents planning
concepts that minimize developments' carbon footprint through compact
communities, adaptable and expandable dwellings, edible landscape, and
smaller-sized yet quality designed housing.
