This new text provides a coherent overview of the important issues in sustainable urban design. The writers focus on the physical aspects of the urban environment - the buildings and their engineering systems, landscaping, transport systems, energy, water and waste systems and successfully cover all the key elements in one volume together with fully illustrated examples of best practice. The contributors, drawn from architectural and planning practices, are recognised experts in this field.

To provide for ever-growing populations, cities build new neighbourhoods, transform old industrial areas, and renew the existing urban fabric. The focus now is on energy-neutral neighbourhoods, but in order for these to work, residents must be engaged and the tactics embedded within a broader social policy. This book revisits the neighbourhood as the appropriate scale to build our urban futures: it is small enough to be tangible, large enough to make a difference. Introducing the concepts of neighbourhood arrangements and ecologies, it provides a new perspective on the relation between participants, resources, and rules to spark change and realise future sustainable living.

How do we accommodate a growing urban population in a way that is sustainable, equitable, and inviting? This question is becoming increasingly urgent to answer as we face diminishing fossil-fuel resources and the effects of a changing climate while global cities continue to compete to be the most vibrant centers of culture, knowledge, and finance. Jan Gehl has been examining this question since the 1960s, when few urban designers or planners were thinking about designing cities for people. But given the unpredictable, complex and ephemeral nature of life in cities, how can we best design public infrastructure—vital to cities for getting from place to place, or staying in place—for human use? Studying city life and understanding the factors that encourage or discourage use is the key to designing inviting public space. In How to Study Public Life Jan Gehl and Birgitte Svarre draw from their combined experience of over 50 years to provide a history of public-life study as well as methods and tools necessary to recapture city life as an important planning dimension. This type of systematic study began in earnest in the 1960s, when several researchers and journalists on different continents criticized urban planning for having forgotten life in the city. City life studies provide knowledge about human behavior in the built environment in an attempt to put it on an equal footing with knowledge about urban elements such as buildings and transport systems. Studies can be used as input in the decision-making process,  as part of overall planning, or in designing individual projects such as streets, squares or parks. The original goal is still the goal today: to recapture city life as an important planning dimension. Anyone interested in improving city life will find inspiration, tools, and examples in this invaluable guide.

Stadsnatuur maken is een inspiratie- en voorbeeldboek voor natuurinclusief ontwerpen in de Noordwest-Europese stad.Het boek roept op tot het integreren van natuur in het ontwerp van gebouwen en stedelijke buitenruimten en het geeft daarbij praktische voorbeelden en ontwerphandreikingen. De stad is een rijke biotoop met een grote biodiversiteit. Veel dier- en plantensoorten komen inmiddels meer in de stad voor dan in het buitengebied.De auteurs zien natuur als een integraal onderdeel van het stedelijke organisme en als zodanig van belang voor de leefbaarheid van de stad. Natuurinclusief ontwerpen is een pionierspraktijk, en pas recent onderdeel van de stadsplanning. Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken; de theorie van ecologie en biodiversiteit, stadsgebonden soorten, stedelijke biotopen en onderhoud van stadsnatuur worden in deze publicatie aan de hand van inspirerende en praktische voorbeelden besproken.De auteurs zijn lid van de stichting De Natuurlijke Stad, een samenwerkingsverband van architecten, biologen en stadsecologen met veel ervaring in de praktijk en theorie van het natuurinclusief ontwerpen in de stad.
