The Green Leap specifically helps move green development beyond the design stage by thoroughly addressing construction and post-construction issues.Incorporating many real-world examples, Mark Hostetler explains key conservation concepts and techniques, with specific advice for a wide variety of stakeholders that are interested in creating and maintaining green developments. He outlines the key players and principles needed to establish biodiverse communities and illustrates eight key design and management strategies. The Green Leap not only offers essential information for constructing new developments but also helps existing communities retrofit homes, yards, and neighborhoods to better serve both people and nature. 606 $aBiodiversity conservation 606 $aBiodiversity conservation 606 $aNew towns - Environmental aspects 606 $aNew towns -- Environmental aspects 606 $aPlanned communities - Environmental aspects 606 $aPlanned communities -- Environmental aspects 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aPlanned communities$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aNew towns$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aBiodiversity conservation 606 $aSociology & Social History$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aCommunities - Urban Groups$2HILCC 615 4$aBiodiversity conservation. 615 4$aBiodiversity conservation. 615 4$aNew towns - Environmental aspects. 615 4$aNew towns -- Environmental aspects. 615 4$aPlanned communities - Environmental aspects. 615 4$aPlanned communities -- Environmental aspects. 615 4$aUrban ecology (Biology). 615 0$aPlanned communities$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aNew towns$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology) 615 0$aBiodiversity conservation. 615 7$aSociology & Social History 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aCommunities - Urban Groups 676 $a307.768 700 $aHostetler$b Mark, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01854321 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965875403321 996 $aThe Green Leap$94451438 997 $aUNINA
