It also highlights solutions to these challenges. Solutions to Climate change Challenges in the Built Environment helps develop an appreciation of the diverse themes of the climate change debate across the built environment continuum. A wide perspective is provided through contributions from physical, environmental, social, economic and political scientists. This strategic view on built environment issues will be useful to researchers as well as policy experts and construction practitioners wanting a holistic view. This book clarifies complex issues around climate change and follows five main themes: climate change experiences; urban landscape development; urban management issues; measurement of impact; and the future. Chapters are written by eminent specialists from both academic and professional backgrounds. The main context for chapters is the developed world but the discussion is widened to incorporate regional issues. The book will be valuable to researchers and students in all the built environment disciplines, as well as to practitioners involved with the design, construction and maintenance of buildings, and government organisations developing and implementing climate change policy"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aInnovation in the built environment. 606 $aSustainable construction 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aUrban ecology (Sociology) 606 $aEnvironmental protection 606 $aClimatic changes$xPrevention 615 0$aSustainable construction. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Sociology) 615 0$aEnvironmental protection. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xPrevention. 676 $a720/.47 701 $aBooth$b Colin$g(Colin A.)$0964992 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910130957803321 996 $aSolutions to climate change challenges in the built environment$92189386 997 $aUNINA
