Designing for Waste Minimization in High-Density Cities: Chi-Sun Poon and Lara Jaillon; Introduction: Waste management and waste minimization 327 $aDesigning for waste minimization 330 $aCompact living is sustainable living. High-density cities can support closer amenities, encourage reduced trip lengths and the use of public transport and therefore reduce transport energy costs and carbon emissions. High-density planning also helps to control the spread of urban suburbs into open lands, improves efficiency in urban infrastructure and services, and results in environmental improvements that support higher quality of life in cities. Encouraging, even requiring, higher density urban development is a major policy and a central principle of growth management programmes u 606 $aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aSustainable urban development 606 $aUrban ecology (Sociology) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aSustainable urban development. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Sociology) 676 $a307.1/216 676 $a307.1216 676 $a711.42 701 $aNg$b Edward$0940650 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456696903321 996 $aDesigning high-density cities for social and environmental sustainability$92121143 997 $aUNINA
