Edited Volume | With Hubert Klumpner and Georgeen Theodore
TRANSITIONING TO SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES is an edited volume of scholarly articles and interviews from leading experts working in architecture, urban design,planning, and landscape architecture. Contributions address the challenges and opportunities prompted by the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG11), and by extension, the climate crisis. The volume showcases a range of novel research, new spatial planning perspectives, and innovative design approaches that are contributing to making cities more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable today. The volume’s authors respond to key sustainability issues, such as air quality/pollution, safety and lighting in informal settlements, equity and inclusion in urban development, affordable housing production, cultural heritage conservation, and post-war planning and rebuilding. The intended readership of this volume includes academics, architects, urban designers, landscape architects, urban and regional planners, policy-makers, and public sector consultants working in cities and urbanizing areas. Drawing largely from examples in the Global South, where various forms of scarcity give rise to inclusive and sustainable solutions for the entire world, the volume contributes first-hand professional perspectives, evidence-based solutions, case studies, and projects.
