FERRAO, Paulo , FERNANDEZ, E
Sustainable urbain métabolism - The MIT PRESS 2013 - 191 p. Couv. en coul. 23 x 16 cm
Using the concept of urban metabolism as a unifying framework, Ferrao and Fernandez describe a systemsoriented approach that establishes useful linkages among environmental, economic, social, and technical infrastructure issues. These linkages lead to an integrated informationintensive platform that enables ecologically informed urban planning. After establishing the theoretical background and describing the diversity of contributing disciplines, the authors sample sustainability approaches and tools, offer an extended study of the urban metabolism of Lisbon, and outline the challenges and opportunities in approaching urban sustainability in both developed and developing countries.
