It questions the ethics, equity and sustainability of continued growth of the building stock in industrialized contexts amid diminishing demand, whilst the developing world is deprived of basic resources and infrastructure. Even a ?circular' built environment may not go far enough, when dramatic reduction in consumption of resources is required to meet ?sufficient' service levels. More socio-economic value may be derived from built resources by their stewardship, adaptation, reuse and equitable sharing, while ameliorating the adverse impacts of over consumption. By taking a wider perspective of a sustainable built environment, the text - illustrated by case studies from the Olympics and nine countries - reframes the policy debate and reforms current approaches through a new theory and manifesto. It will appeal to policy makers, architects, urban designers, educators, students and green building practitioners. 606 $aCities and towns$xGrowth$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aCity planning 606 $aPopulation density 606 $aHousing development 615 0$aCities and towns$xGrowth$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aCity planning. 615 0$aPopulation density. 615 0$aHousing development. 676 $a307.764 676 $a711.58097135 700 $aNess$b David A.$01469060 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bAuAdUSA 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793320303321 996 $aThe impact of overbuilding on people and the planet$93680461 997 $aUNINA
