The thread of hope.There is now a practically universal consensus that our climate is changing rapidly, and as a direct result of human activities. While there is extensive debate about what we can do to mitigate the damage we are causing, it is becoming increasingly clear that a large part of our resources will have to be directed towards adapting to new climatic conditions, with talk of survivability replacing sustainability as the new and most pressing priority. Nowhere is this more evident than in the built environment - the stage on which our most important interactions with climatic conditions arCity planningEnvironmental aspectsHousingEnvironmental aspectsClimatic changesSustainable urban developmentCity planningEnvironmental aspects.HousingEnvironmental aspects.Climatic changes.Sustainable urban development.720/.47Smith Peter F(Peter Frederick),1930-33073MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963506303321Building for a changing climate4487064UNINA
