Agile urban futures. 330 $aAmericans are waking up to the realization that global warming poses real challenges to the nation?s prosperity. In The Agile City, journalist and urban analyst James S. Russell engages the million dollar question: what do we do about it? The answer lies in changing our fundamental approach to growth. Improved building techniques can readily cut carbon emissions by half, and some can get to zero. These cuts can be affordably achieved in windshield-shattering desert heat and the bone-chilling cold of the north. Intelligently designing our towns, suburbs, and cities could reduce commutes and child chauffeuring to a few miles or eliminate it entirely. Who wouldn?t want a future like that? Agility, Russell explains, also means learning to adapt to the effects of climate change, which means redesigning the obsolete ways we finance real estate; distribute housing subsidies; provide transportation; and obtain, distribute, and dispose of water. These engines of growth have become increasingly dysfunctional both economically and environmentally. The Agile City highlights tactics that create multiplier effects. Ecologically driven change can stimulate economic opportunity, make more productive workplaces, and help revive neglected communities. Considering multiple effects and benefits of political choices and private investments is essential to assuring wealth and well-being. The Agile City shows that change undertaken at the building and community level, with ingenuity and resourcefulness, makes the future look very green indeed. 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aFinancial crises$xHistory$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aFinancial crises$xHistory 676 $a363.738/74561 700 $aRussell$b James S$0928702 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462665203321 996 $aThe agile city$92087164 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01978oam 2200505 450 001 9910706729603321 005 20180125112846.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002458164 035 $a(OCoLC)896810194 035 $a(OCoLC)995470000002458164 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002458164 100 $a20141123d1975 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aEvolution of the Platoro caldera complex and related volcanic rocks, southeastern San Juan Mountains, Colorado /$fby Peter W.
