Overview
Achieving Sustainable Urban Form represents a major advance in the sustainable development debate. It presents research which defines elements of sustainable urban form - density, size, configuration, detailed design and quality - from macro to micro scale. Case studies from Europe, the USA and Australia are used to illustrate good practice within the fields of planning, urban design and architecture.

Based on the central premise that the form of a town or city can affect its sustainability, architects, planners, environmental scientists, and others seek to clarify the relationship between the shape, size, density, and uses of a city and its sustainability. They begin where the 1996 book leaves off, broadening beyond the compact city model to find approaches suitable for different scales and locations of development. Annotation c.
