Full Description
This book offers a detailed examination of how urban areas can evolve while balancing growth, resilience, and ecological innovation. Through a variety of case studies and research-driven insights, it explores methods for improving climate resilience, reviving urban areas, and incorporating ecological frameworks into city planning. The book offers valuable strategies for developing dynamic, ecologically conscious cities by addressing critical issues such as urban redevelopment, disaster preparedness, and sustainable land use. When managed effectively, urban growth can drive economic vitality while fostering sustainable development. By emphasizing the importance of resilient urban planning, brownfield redevelopment, and innovative infrastructure design, the book demonstrates how cities can manage growth without compromising ecological integrity. The book draws attention to the conflict between sustainability and development, providing guidance on tactics that reduce environmental damage and advance social inclusion. Furthermore, degrowth emerges as a vital alternative to traditional urban growth, offering cities healthier and more balanced paths forward. Resilience is paramount in the face of climate-induced risks and mounting urban vulnerabilities.
