Sustainable Urbanism: Building Cities that Last

By Isabella Gordon and Logan Lee

This book presents the myriad issues of sustainable urbanism in a clear and concise system, and supports holistic thinking about sustainable development in urban environments. It explores four broad measures of urban sustainability that differ radically from other, less long-lived patterns: these are Lifecycle, Aesthetics, Scale, and Technology (LAST). This book is a unique perspective on architecture, urban planning, environmental and urban design, exploring ways for raising quality of life and the standard of living in a new modern era by creating better and more viable places to live. This book will find wide readership particularly among students and young practitioners in architecture and planners.
