This volume addresses in depth, and in one place, the many environmental problems - and their solutions - that face world cities. Cities generate two-thirds of the world's wealth and account for eighty per cent of gross national production. The book looks at, from the urban designer/planner's point of view, all the concomitant problems resulting from this scenario: brownfields - distressed industrial areas; eroding infrastructure; pollution; resource losses; environmental hazards; and global environmental issues.
