Infos

The multi-disciplinary perspective provided here offers a strategic
view on built environment issues and improve understanding of how
built environment activities potentially induce global warming and
climate change. It also highlights solutions to these challenges.

Solutions to Climate change Challenges in the Built
Environment helps develop an appreciation of the diverse themes
of the climate change debate across the built environment
continuum. A wide perspective is provided through contributions
from physical, environmental, social, economic and political
scientists. This strategic view on built environment issues will be
useful to researchers as well as policy experts and construction
practitioners wanting a holistic view.

This book clarifies complex issues around climate change and
follows five main themes: climate change experiences; urban
landscape development; urban management issues; measurement of
impact; and the future. Chapters are written by eminent specialists
from both academic and professional backgrounds. The main context
for chapters is the developed world but the discussion is widened
to incorporate regional issues.

The book will be valuable to researchers and students in all the
built environment disciplines, as well as to practitioners involved
with the design, construction and maintenance of buildings, and
government organisations developing and implementing climate change
policy.
