Written by a designer and instructor, the books fully illustrated chapters provide detailed insights into contemporary strategies that architects, planners and builders are integrating into their thought processes and residential design practices.Past approaches to planning and design modes of dwellings and neighborhoods can no longer sustain new demands and require innovative thinking.

It presents contemporary well-designed and illustrated examples of communities and detailed analysis of topics including the depletion of non-renewable natural resources, elevated levels of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
