本书为提出可替代和可持续的城市化形式，设问：生态城市主义的主要原则是什么？如何组织这些原则？设计与规划将在此过程中扮演什么样的角色？ 尽管气候变化，可持续建筑，和绿色技术等越来越受到关注，而与城市的可持续性相关的话题却相对门庭冷落。本书的写作前提是：我们迫切需要一种生态的途径来拯救当代城市并为新的城市建立原则。生态城市主义对待城市化并没有统一的方式，而是从全球的视角，多尺度和多学科的途径来应对。设计提供了一个综合性的解决方案，将生态与城市联系起来，而不与环境相冲突。 本书汇集了设计从业人员和理论家，经济学家，工程师，艺术家，决策者，环境科学家和公共卫生专家，以期更全面地理解生态城市主义及其未来。 With the aim of projecting alternative and sustainable forms of urbanism, the ...(展开全部)
