Climate change has emerged to be one of the biggest challenges faced by our planet today, threatening both built and natural systems with long-term consequences, which may be irreversible. While there is a vast body of literature on sustainability and sustainable urban development, there is currently limited focus on how to cohesively bring together the vital issues of the planning, development, and management of sustainable cities. Moreover, it has been widely stated that current practices and lifestyles cannot continue if we are to leave a healthy living planet to not only the next generation, but also to the generations beyond. The current global school strikes for climate action (known as Fridays for Future) evidences this. The book advocates the view that the focus needs to rest on ways in which our cities and industries can become green enough to avoid urban ecocide. This book fills a gap in the literature by bringing together issues related to the planning, development, and management of cities and focusing on a triple-bottom-line approach to sustainability. 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aSustainable urban development 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aSustainable urban development. 676 $a628 700 $aYigitcanlar$b Tan$0437748 702 $aKamruzzaman$b Md (Liton) 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597904303321 996 $aPlanning, Development and Management of Sustainable Cities$93085616 997 $aUNINA
