In the absence of federal leadership, states and localities are
stepping forward to address critical problems like climate change,
urban sprawl, and polluted water and air. Fortunately, they have
dynamic, innovative models outside U.S. borders. Green Cities of Europe
draws on the world's best examples of sustainability to show how other
cities can become greener and more livable. Timothy Beatley has brought
together leading experts from Paris, Freiburg, Copenhagen, Helsinki,
Venice, Vitoria-Gasteiz, and London to illustrate groundbreaking
practices in urban planning. These cities are creating greenways,
improving public transit, conserving energy, instituting "green audits"
for government, and strengthening their city centers. With Green Cities
of Europe, Beatley offers the U.S. planning community not only a vision
of holistic sustainability, but a clear guide to accomplishing it at
home.
