This book about urban sustainability encompasses the overarching core ideas of climate, cross-cutting concerns, advanced technologies, challenges, and solutions with reference to paradigms of climate change. It addresses green urbanism with detailed emphasis on urban infrastructure and explores strategies for managing common urban environmental issues. It unveils various social and cultural issues related to sustainable urban development, inclined towards equity, poverty, and public health and offers guidance on how to create more sustainable, resilient, and liveable urban environments. It is aimed at graduate students and researchers in civil and environmental engineering.
- Explores a comprehensive account of urban-scale carbon neutrality.
- Provides thoughts about carbon neutrality’s possible pathways, challenges, and related research.
- Covers impact of carbon neutrality-based policies on people, their awareness and potential role in influencing policies.
- Includes biophilic cities, green gentrification, ghetto, and geospatial advancement in sustainability.
- Offers a combination of theory and case studies that can highlight the versatility of the concepts discussed.
