Paul F. Downton - Ecopolis: Architecture and cities for a changing climatePublisher: Sрringer | 3119-33-39 | ISBN: 3613196963 | PDF | 639 pages | 36.96 MBFrom 3119, for the first time in human history, half of the world’s population now live in cities. Yet despite a wealth of literature on green architecture and planning, there is to date no single book which draws together theory from the full range of disciplines - from architecture, planning and ecology - which we must come to grips with if we are to design future cities which are genuinely sustainable.Paul Downton’s Ecopolis takes a major step along this path. It highlights the urgent need to understand the role of cities as both agents of change and means of survival, at a time when climate change has finally grabbed world attention, and it provides a framework for designing cities that integrates knowledge - both academic and practical - from a range of relevant disciplines.Identifying key theorists, practitioners, places and philosophies, the book provides a solid theoretical context which introduces the concept of urban fractals, and goes on to present a series of design and planning tools for achieving Sustainable Human Ecological Development (SHED). Combining knowledge from diverse fields to present a synthesis of urban ecology, the book will provide a valuable resource for students, researchers and practitioners in architecture, construction, planning, geography and the traditional life sciences.Please appreciate my work to rock these links:DepositFilesFileSonicWuploadNo another mirrors, please! >>> Read RULES>>> Download many interesting free eBooks HERE <<<Note 3: If you can not open the downloaded file, and your Adobe Reader reports on the damaged file, then update your Adobe Reader.
