| Abstract | "This book examines built environment through issues related to spatial planning, ecology, infrastructure and lived experience of the cities. Focussing on case studies from cities in both the developed and developing world, it explores space, society and culture and its relationship with the environment. Cities and urban areas drive economic growth and social welfare. However, increased urbanisation brings with it complex challenges and roadblocks towards building inclusive, sustainable and resilient cities that can meet the requirements of rapidly rising urban populations. Exploring the issues, interventions and designs of different cities, the book delves into the details of ecological planning and design processes and frameworks, emerging knowledge and technology, sectoral concerns of land use zoning, transportation modelling, sustainability, waste management, informal settlements and access to urban greens. This book will be of use and interest to students and researchers of built environment, city and urban planning, urban environment, urban development, environment & the city, environmental policy, urban sociology, cities & infrastructure, environment and sustainability, and urban studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers and professionals connected with these disciplines"-- Provided by publisher. |
