The ultimate step-by-step action plan guidebook for making
communities resilient, resourceful, and healthy
Many of today''s communities face an unprecedented struggle to
adapt and maintain their environmental, economic, and social
well-being in an era beleaguered by fiscal constraints, uncertainty
about energy prices and supplies, rapid demographic shifts, and
accelerated climate impacts. This step-by-step guidebook for urban
planners and urban designers explains how to create and implement
an actionable plan for making neighborhoods, communities, and
regions more environmentally healthy, resource-conserving, and
economically resilient. Sustainable and Resilient Communities
delineates measures for repairing, retrofitting, and transforming
our built environments and supporting systems—transportation,
energy, water, natural environment, food production, solid waste,
and economics—through:
Methods for assessing a community''s key sustainability
quotient
Deploying tools for establishing timely performance goals and
metrics
Developing strategies for evaluating, selecting, and implementing
''high-leverage'' interventions
Activating policies, codes, programs, plans, and practices, as
well as monitoring and upgrading their performance
The book includes a range of targeted case studies, from New
Orleans and South Carolina to Arizona and California, illustrating
geographically diverse approaches for urban contexts large and
small.
A resource for developing an ecological urbanism, Sustainable and
Resilient Communities employs time-proven, broadly applicable
strategies and actions that can be customized for specific
environmental, energy, and economic conditions.
