With ever increasing trends in urban consumption and production practices; a call for action to mitigate Climate Change is often seen as a way to foster sustainable development. Considerable attention is now being paid to determine what urban sustainability would include. Today there is a pressing need to broaden our knowledge and apply new concepts and frameworks to development of modern cities. Building on the foregoing; this book attempts to bring together and discuss concepts; tools; frameworks and best practices to cope with the emerging challenges faced by cities today. The book will be of use to policy makers; city planners; practitioners and academics who are starting to project what modern cities would need to do in terms of energy efficiency; mobility; planning and design of habitat and infrastructure and adapting to climate change.
