Resilient Cities: Creating a Livable World

Throughout his long and honored career in urban design, planning, and architecture, Peter Calthorpe has been a pioneer of innovative approaches to urban revitalization, suburban growth, and regional planning. In his groundbreaking work, he shows how regionally scaled urbanism can be combined with green technology to achieve not only needed adjustments to a changing natural world but other critical economies and lifestyle benefits. This provocative and engaging work emerges from Calthorpe's belief that, just as the last fifty years produced massive changes in our culture, economy and environment, the next fifty will generate changes of an even more profound nature.
