In planning for a sustainable future for our planet, it is
vital that we achieve a seamless and benign biointegration of all
human interventions in the natural environment. Finding green
design solutions for our built environment must start from the
wider scale of regional and urban planning and must then be carried
right through to infrastructural engineering, architecture and
industrial design. Masterplanning affords the chance to redress
current environmental imbalances and to reduce the consequences of
our built systems on the environment, with the greater and of
reversing climate change.
Ecomasterplanning presents a groundbreaking integrative and
comprehensive approach to masterplanning, illustrated by examples
that Ken Yeang – the original pioneer of the ‘green skyscraper’ –
has designed in a highly visually driven format, the book examines
over 20 of his masterplans from around the world, including those
in the Netherlands, china, India, Turkey, Malaysia, Singapore and
North America.
