Institutional and Social Innovation for Sustainable Urban Development

In the face of global environmental change, the need for sustainable development in our cities is seen as increasingly crucial in securing their futures. This book traces new and established approaches to urban transformations, using new methods, such as smart growth strategies; cross-sectoral, transdisciplinary urban transition management; rubanisation; and city syntegration. It draws on the international experience of more than fifty leading researchers and practitioners to synthesize insights from megacity research, climate change modeling and town planning.
