| Summary: | To provide for ever-growing populations, cities build new neighborhoods, transform old industrial areas and renew the existing urban fabric. The focus now is on energy-neutral neighbourhoods, but in order for these to work, residents must be engaged and the tactics embedded within a broader social policy. This book revisits the neighbourhood as the appropriate scale to build our urban futures. It is small enough to be tangible, large enough to make a difference. Introducing the concepts of neighborhood arrangements and ecologies, it provides a new perspective on the relation between participants, resources and rules to spark change and realize future sustainable living. |
