Key Principles and Players -- Part Two. The Devil Is in the Details -- In Summary -- Notes -- IndexWritten for anyone interested in green development-including policy makers, architects, developers, builders, and homeowners-this practical guide focuses on the central question of how to conserve biodiversity in neighborhoods and to minimize development impacts on surrounding habitats. The Green Leap specifically helps move green development beyond the design stage by thoroughly addressing construction and post-construction issues.Incorporating many real-world examples, Mark Hostetler explains key conservation concepts and techniques, with specific advice for a wide variety of stakeholders that are interested in creating and maintaining green developments. He outlines the key players and principles needed to establish biodiverse communities and illustrates eight key design and management strategies. The Green Leap not only offers essential information for constructing new developments but also helps existing communities retrofit homes, yards, and neighborhoods to better serve both people and nature.Biodiversity conservationBiodiversity conservationNew towns - Environmental aspectsNew towns -- Environmental aspectsPlanned communities - Environmental aspectsPlanned communities -- Environmental aspectsUrban ecology (Biology)Planned communitiesEnvironmental aspectsNew townsEnvironmental aspectsUrban ecology (Biology)Biodiversity conservationSociology & Social HistoryHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCCommunities - Urban GroupsHILCCElectronic books.Biodiversity conservation.Biodiversity conservation.New towns - Environmental aspects.New towns -- Environmental aspects.Planned communities - Environmental aspects.Planned communities -- Environmental aspects.Urban ecology (Biology).Planned communitiesEnvironmental aspectsNew townsEnvironmental aspectsUrban ecology (Biology)Biodiversity conservationSociology & Social HistorySocial SciencesCommunities - Urban Groups307.768Hostetler Mark, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1055018DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910461694303321The Green Leap2488080UNINA
