It also examines the basic structural elements of every city: materials and fuels; people and economics; and biodiversity. In part two, professionals working on some of the world?s most inventive urban sustainability projects share their first-hand experience. Success stories come from places as diverse as Ahmedabad, India; Freiburg, Germany; and Shanghai, China. In many cases, local people are acting to improve their cities, even when national efforts are stalled. Parts three and four examine cross-cutting issues that affect the success of all cities. Topics range from the nitty-gritty of handling waste and developing public transportation to civic participation and navigating dysfunctional government. Throughout, readers discover the most pressing challenges facing communities and the most promising solutions currently being developed. The result is a snapshotof cities today and a vision for global urban sustainability tomorrow. 410 0$aState of the World,$x2945-5766 606 $aEcology 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aUrban Ecology 606 $aUrban Economics 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology) 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aUrban Ecology. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 676 $a338.927 700 $aWorldwatch Institute$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0623498 702 $aGardner$b Gary T.$f1958- 702 $aPrugh$b Tom 702 $aRenner$b Michael$f1957- 712 02$aWorldwatch Institute, 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253905603321 996 $aState of the World 2016$92462893 997 $aUNINA
