Urban remodelling. 330 $aWith ever increasing trends in urban consumption and production practices, a call for action to mitigate Climate Change is often seen as a way to foster sustainable development. Considerable attention is now being paid to determine what urban sustainability would include. Today there is a pressing need to broaden our knowledge and apply new concepts and frameworks to development of modern cities. Building on the foregoing, this book attempts to bring together and discuss concepts, tools, frameworks and best practices to cope with the emerging challenges faced by cities today. The book will be of use to policy makers, city planners, practitioners and academics who are starting to project what modern cities would need to do in terms of energy efficiency, mobility, planning and design of habitat and infrastructure and adapting to climate change. 410 0$aSpringer environmental science and engineering. 606 $aUrban ecology (Sociology) 606 $aClimatic changes 615 0$aUrban ecology (Sociology) 615 0$aClimatic changes. 676 $a363.738747 701 $aKhare$b Anshuman$01754557 701 $aBeckman$b Terry$01754558 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437935103321 996 $aMitigating climate change$94190986 997 $aUNINA
